[50mhz] Opinions wanted on 6m radios

[cboone at earthlink.net]

I did not include many of the HF+6 rigs...I was merely pointing out the 6m only or 6+2-4 other band (Like the TS660 and 670) multimode rigs...there are PLENTY of HF+6 (and more!)...beginning with the TS680 and FT450 and FT570s and TS2000, etc etc etc....The HF+6 mtr rigs are great....(and some of them the NB works in the FM mode...imagine that!!! But on some, it does not; like my FT857 and FT100....but the TS680 and later TSxxx do!!! So if not needed, why is included and works in some rigs but not others? It boggles the mind! ;)

Guess I need to make two lists :)

Chris
WB5ITT
TS 680, FT 857D, FT 100D, FT 690RI and RII models!
(not to mention plenty of Midland Syntech I, II and XTRs on 6FM!)
