Hello group, 

I'm looking to buy my first HF green radio.. I figured that this group can give me some good ideas about what to look for. 

Here are some things that are important to me. 

Must haves 

1. In manpac form

2. 40m.Lsb . 20m.Usb

3. Battery that can be recharged or converted to LIPO4 

4. Something American, mostly 

5. I would rather not mess with tubes. 

I will be going to redball in PA for the event so anything looks interesting, I can buy it in person.

Email me directly if you have something for sale at KD2GIY@GMAIL.COM 

OR reply to this with any suggestions on what radios to look for. 

Thanks in advance.

Dave
