By the time you are Ready to get an HF Rig and the Sunspot Cycle is on the UP Side the price of the Yaesu FT-847 will be down where you can get a nice Demo or used unit.
You will not have to give up your Your YEARLY BIRTHDAY BUCKET OF KFC.

Sorry for the delay, I have been over at the coast for the week.... IF you MUST buy a Yaesu, instead of an ICOM, then I suppose the FT-857 is the one. The price and features are almost identical to the ICOM706... |

Course you also have to take into consideration the new HF antenna, tuner, etc. in the equation. $$$ Since you are already radioed up for 2M and 70cm, you could go for the HF only rigs? |
