Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I will continue to monitor 
this reflector and chew on these ideas over the winter (doing my 
first rove in Indiana in January doesn't sound like fun right now).

Dean, you are not the only one to suggest sticking with the 746Pro 
for the time being. I used it as the basis for a portable station 
during a recent local contest where the only bands allowed were 75m, 
6m, and 2m. The radio has three RF outputs and worked very well with 
that combination of bands because I could connect my HF antenna to 
one port, the 6m antenna to the other port, and the 2m antenna to the 144 port.

One suggestion was to just stick with 6m and 2m until I get a few 
roves under my belt. That would give me a chance to work on antennas 
and masts without spending a big chunk of money on radios, 
transverters, and amps. I'm starting to like this idea.

Bob...
