Many thanks, I was thinking about 600-700$. So I was thinking in FT-840 because now has low price. I have seen also IC-703 (I like also QRP) and FT- 100. What do you think about them for digital radio?. Do you have any experience with them or with other radios with similar price?. I have been also interested in K2 with SSB option, but I have received comment about it is very good for CW but not for digital modes...
