Well, dang, I carried the FT950 out to the trailer and guess what....that sucker is too big to put anywhere that I won't get the wrath of the XYL. If we could leave the stinking parrot (African Gray) somewhere other than with us, there is room....but his travel cage goes on the best spot for the "shack".

So it is back to pulling the FT857 out of the truck and putting it in the trailer when I want to work from there.

What I would like to have for the trailer is a Kenwood TS480HX and use that as a base at home. Anyone have a gently used TS40HX they would want to swap for a gently used 1-1/2 year old Yaesu FT950 plus a little cash.

I love the FT950, but it will not fit well into our future use on the road.
