Thanks Craig, No problem. I sold my TS-2000X and bought the IC-9100 a while ago. I will never look back. The Icom runs circles around the TS-2000. To each its own. Have a great Thanksgiving! Stefan VE4NSA On Fri, Nov 23, 2012 at 2:01 PM, Craig Gagner wrote: > That's a great discount, too bad

That's a great discount, too bad the radio is still $1500 over priced.. I got the chance to play with one for a couple of hours and although the HF is a little better than my TS-2000 still doesn't come close to my Flex 5000, its not worth the price difference of a TS-2000. Even with the added price

I have both an FT-847, and a TS-790. I prefer the FT-847 for satellite work, and the TS-790 for weak signal work. It's mostly what I'm used to, and the '847 seems to be easier to use for satellites.The TS-790 seems to have a better receiver, and one of these days I'll use my IF-232 to run it with S

But just because something is listed as a satellite radio, why only limit it to the satellite bands? Satellite radios also make good VHF/UHF weak signal and contest radios. 73s John AA5JG On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 1:56 PM, Nigel Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF wrote: > There aren't any satellites on 6M. > > The

There aren't any satellites on 6M. There's always the "old fashioned" solution, an HF receiver, an HF transmitter and a pair of converters or transverters. They're still available for the microwave bands. There must be older 2M and 70cM multimode rigs available used ( IC211E, TS700, IC202/404 e
