[amsat-bb] TS-790A FOR SALE

[Don KB2YSI]

IC-9700 is just that, but it is not on the market yet...
<rant>
While it is looks to be a great radio, there is a sore lack of portable, I
would put the IC-9700 in the lug-able category, VHF/UHF all mode radios.
The only radio on the market in the portable all mode VHF/UHF is the
FT-818; unless there is something that I do not know about.  The FT-857,
IC-9100, IC-7100, etc.. are also lug-able radio. Not to mention the 818 is
near $800 USD, that is hard bill to swallow when you are interested in 2
bands that it covers.

One wonders what it would take from engineering perspective to build a
5-25w all mode VHF/UFH radio... Not a 100% sure if 25w would be enough for
the VHF/UHF contesters to power transverters/amplifiers, but it would be an
additional market outside of satellite operation.

Sorry for the rant, but it seemed somewhat on topic.
