Ed:  I would go with a Kenwood TS-50 for a couple of reasons.  It is a
great little rig
and ideal for mobile installation.  More important, all that is necessary
is remove
on diode and the transmitter will opertate 1.5 to 30 MHz which would be
great down
the road if the FCC moves 40 meters down and/or the authorize a new band in
the
5-5.6 MHz range as is proposed.  This would keep the rig from being obsolete.

Dayton hopefully this year and will be looking for an HF mobile and
antenna. I would like to keep my installation simple. I have considered an
Alinco DX-70th with the iron horse mono band antennas. I own an Icom 706
mkII g that  I use as my primary base station but have no experience with
the Yaesu FT 100d or the Kenwood TS 50. I have read reviews on the Alinco
saying the noise blanker is terrible. I drive a Dodge Caravan mini  van
where the installation will be. By the way I have read extremely good
reviews on the Iron horse antennas. TIA
