I had one of those too.<:-)) Nary a moments trouble, except figuring out 
how to hook up one of the little Yaesu FT897D's 1KW on 160-10 and you 
sure it won't do about 800 on six? <:-)) The auto band switching and no 
tune was great although with the operation here I needed an auto tuner.  
There are times when doing a lot of band changing I wish I had it back. 
  It ran cool, quite, appeared well designed, and like much of that 
equipment had a professional looking appearance.  Thanks for the note 
Mike, I'll answer that shortly.

Now it would be handy, but you could purchase a tube type amp that'll do 
the legal limit plus *substantial* overhead all day long for half that.

Now down on tower talk they may appreciate the idea of it running a 
setppIR antenna, but I wonder if that's the same output that drives an 
auto tuner which is almost essential if you move around much while 
operating 160, 75, and 40.
