FT-290

[Phil Sikes]

Greetings to all you Yaesu fans. 

This is my first posting to the reflector and I am looking for some 
infromation. Does anyone out there have any experience with the 
FT-290 multi mode 2M portable rig? Is this a pretty good rig for 
sattelite work? It sounds like a good mountain topper and the price 
is pretty good. What accessories would you recommend?  I am very 
happy with all of my Yaesu rigs, including: FT900, FT8500 and FT2500. 

Thanks in advance for the input.
