[SixClub] AMPLIFIER-RM Italy.

[Howard Bingham]

My mobile Yaesu works those modes too (FT-857D) and there are others out 
there..!

My only problem now is passing my General so I can get on bands the 
Yaesu FT-857D covers..

Have antenna to do most of the General class bands, but have resisted 
the temptation to install an antenna that cost more than some high end 
dual banders..

I'm not knocking ICOM, just that there are a half dozen or so other 
models in production that can work all modes & on all bands..

My next step up would be a Kenwood (Almost bought the Kenwood TS-480SAT 
but settled on the Yaesu as I could get more for the buck at the time.).
