I know if a syncal 2000 available in Italy. I'm a big fan of that manpack as it has a vfo knob. Might be the only military manpack radio that has it. Downside is it uses non-nato connectors for handset etc. But accessories are widely available.

Subject: [MRCA] My first Green manpack HF radio help.

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 [email protected]

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

Thanks in advance.

Dave
