[Yaesu] Field vs. Mark V

[Ed Yeary]

Continuing this topic. How easy\difficult is it to put either of these fine
radios on 60 meters? Is Yaesu going to offer something in this class and
price range with 60 already available any time soon. The DX 9000 is out of
my price range by about 10 k or so.

Yes, the Field also has Class A operation, albeit at 25 watts instead of
the Mark V's 75 watts.
