GM guys;
I would like to pose the following question to those who have or had several of
the well known transceivers on TOPBAND.
I have currently in my possession and use an ICOM IC-735 which has been totally
gone thru by MTS in Western Washington. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate it at
about an 8 as it has a few scratches here and there. Unfortunately, this
transceiver doesn't have adequate filtering for CW operation on topband so I am
LOOKING for something USED that will provide me with filtering for CW operation.
I would like to hear from operators who have or had some of the more popular
rigs for operation on 160 meters. Filtering is a MUST, the rest of the bells
and whistles isn't that important to me either. I am looking or leaning
towards the following transceivers:
ICOM 746
ICOM 746 Pro
ICOM 761
ICOM 756
ICOM 756 Pro
Kenwood TS-850
Previously 4 years ago I had a Kenwood TS-870 but was forced to sell the
complete station due to prostate cancer. I have to go the USED route as social
security checks don't go very far these days.
Looking forward to hearing from many of you and I will attempt to post a
summary of the results. It would be nice to be able to listen to these rigs
for a first hand view and experience as to its specs and features.
Thanks for reading and in advance any and all comments
