[Yaesu] opinions needed

Sat May 22 03:58:55 EDT 2010

Thank you very much to everyone who replied. I will take 
what everyone has said into consideration.
I do like doing ssb on all bands even 2m/70cm. I mainly just 
like to rag chew with a some DXing and a little contesting 
thrown in for fun. So maybe a newer "all in one" radio and 
an older HF rig as a back up might be the way to go? A lot 
to think about and consider....
Anyway, thanks again to everyone for the good info!
