[Rover] Downsizing my Rover station

[John Isenberg]

Dan,

Another choice is the Kenwood TS790.  I have that and a 706 and I believe 
the 790 performs better than the 706 on the high bands, so I use the 706 
primarily for 6 meters and as a backup for 144 and 432.  The 790 is rather 
large so if space is a problem, you would want to stick to something much 
smaller. It does have the advantage of having an optional 1296 module which 
seems to work well also.  Don't know how hare they are to come by, they have 
been out of production for a while.
