Thumbs up Ts-570

If I wanted to get a seperate rig to camp with (and I just might, someday) I'd get another used TS-570. Rugged, simple, not to big and easy on batteries. As this is my only HF rig, save the old HW-101, I just drag it around where ever I want to with a wire antenna. Besides, in my case anyway I would not have to "learn" another radio

If I ever get another one, I'll go for the 6 meter option.

I have accumulated all the stuff for the camper, like power supplies, VHF/UHF radio w/antenna, so that all I need to do is drop my TS-570 in place and I'm ready to go. All the other stuff will just stay in the trailer.
