I Have a Yaesu FT -847 for the home. 2 stacked 11 element VHF, 1 15 element crisscross for UHF, inverted V for 80 meters and a R7 for the rest of the HF bands.

In the F250 I have a Yaesu FT-857D with an ATAS-120 HF antenna and a Larson on glass Vhf/Uhf antenna.

Also a quick mount Alinco DR-235T for 220.

In the Trailer I use a Yaesu FT-897D w/ LDG auto tunner with assorted HF and VHF/ UHF antennas including a Buddipole. The selection allows me to use the best antenna for where I am camping.

With any luck I will be adding a ICOM IC-2820 D-Star to the truck as well.

In addition to the above, I have a assortment of HT's as well as Yaesu FT-817 QRP HF/Vhf/Uhf.

While It appears that I am a dyed in the wool Yaesu fan, I am not.. It is that a lot of the software and assorted cables and misc equipment are interchangeable.. That saves $$$ in the long run....
