I have the 710 and ATAS120 as well. It works great. Also if you can get a hold of a EFHW antenna that would be great as well.

Jeremy,

Thanks for the reply.  I got the FT-710 yesterday at the hamfest.  Ham Radio had a nice show discount vs their internet price.

I found this Googling for ATas.  Is this what you have?

Thinking of buying Ft-710 as my first HF radio. I'd also need an antenna. I've never worked HF, so I don't know what I should get.  Any thoughts are appreciated.
