Hi all,
I have $1600 to step up to hf, I was thinking about an IC-7000 and AH-4 and swapping from home to jeep. Then got to thinking maybe a FT-857D with FC-40 for jeep plus an IC-718 for home. Or just buy an IC-746PRO for the house. As far as jeep it's already wired up and and ready to go with rigrunner, 8 AWG wires to battery, ball mount with 102" whip, and FT-8800 with larsen 270 NMO. The house has not been prepd at all yet.
I've used the IC-718 and TS-570 at winter field day. Liked the IC-718 alot. I'm not opposed to used gear, just really don't know enough to trust myself as to checking it out, before buying. I will not buy something I can't get a local Elmer to go with me and put hands on and operate. Just waiting on income tax to pull the trigger on this and March 8th to up grade.
