Hi John and others,
I have owned a TS60 a couple of times in the past. Great 6 meter rig with an excellent receiver on it. The only things I wish it had was a notch filter and built in keyer. The NB worked pretty good for mobile work. They get pretty pricey on ebay, but if you look around you can find one for a decent price.
How is the JST 245? Always been interested in that rig. I hear it is one of the best 6 meter rigs ever made.
