Right you are we kind of hijacked the thread. I would suggest a IC 7000 very small very advanced DC to day light ham shack in a box. I use a Tarheel screw driver antenna and a mount on the side of my camper with pretty good results and also have a box of poles and different antennas I use when I'm parked for any legnth of time. If you are looking for some thing more substantial but portable I really like the IC 7200. Both of those radios have excellent DSP the IC 7200 also has USB connectivity.
