This is exactly why I’ve grumbled about Icom HF and all band.

Hello NLRS land

Checking in with the brain trust here.  I am in the search for a "radio" to use as my microwave IF rig.  It needs to have 2m (2m only is OK), QRP preferred, with the desire to have an internal sound card/USB feature to reduce the number of boxes needed when doing digital from the rover.  It appears to be a limited field.  Not breaking the bank would be nice too.   A FT 818 or 817 sort of fits the bill but they dont have an internal sound card.   I hate all the boxes and cables when I rove, prefer the KISS approach.

Any ideas out there?

73, Jon
