[Boatanchors] Question from an admitted 'Newbie'

[Charlie , W5COV]

Others might not agree, but to me my Gold TS-830S, qualifies for me, 
since it does have tubes and I sure as heck would hate to have to carry 
it very far.

Younger, more fit people might disagree.

Plus I have the remote VFO and Antenna Tuner.

Actually I think pretty much most of the hybrids would qualify under my 
own personal definition.

Charlie, W5COV
