[50mhz] Re: 50mhz Digest, Vol 36, Issue 3

[Dan Schaaf]

Dear Ed,

Both the 756Pro and 2000 are probably overkill for just 6 meters. I bought 
an FT897D for 6, 2 and 70 cm. It has most ofthe features of teh big 
expensive rigs and at a low price. And it is portable. And it covers all HF 
bands.
Nice little rig. !

Best Regards
