I'm much more active with SDR's and a computer than I am with conventional radios.

Dear Scott,

I have yet to try to work NO-84, so hopefully others can provide better
impressions of the uplink power and antenna needed.

One thing that you might want to consider is getting a 10m-only
transceiver. There are several inexpensive ones from Chinese
manufacturers, such as the Anytone AT-5555. These will cost around
100$-150$ and put out up to 20W or so. Definitely an option to consider,
because the cheapest all-band HF tranceiver now is probably the
FT-817ND, with a considerably higher price tag, and it will put out only 5W.
