Thanks for the posts, Mike & Mark. Nice to meet you guys!

I am curious Mark--how does the TS-2000 compare to the FT-857D Yaesu?

The three radios that I have been focusing on thus far are the FT-857D, IC-7000 and the TS-2000. As you guys are all undoubtedly aware of, it's very hard to make a decision between the three of them, when you cannot access *any* of them, lol. My guess is that there'll be a HAM-fest coming up in the area sometime over the next couple of months, and I think that would probably be a good place to take a look at them in person. I also only live about 1.5 hours from Milwaukee, and I believe that there's a big HAM store down there yet--I know there used to be.

I am jealous of Mark though--full-timing it with that HAM gear! I'm only 43 and will have to work a few more years before I can think about going FT in the RV, but maybe someday I'll get there.

Thanks again for the information.

TB
