I have a Yaesu 897 that I run as a base station and it works really well. My only dislikes is that the 897 only has one HF antenna port and one VHF antenna port. So, because of that, I have to use an antenna switch for HF to switch between my Antron and the G5RV. It's not that big of a deal but at one point in time, I had a Kenwood ts2000 that had two HF ports and it made things a little easier.
If I was to buy another HF radio, I would most likely have to sell my Yaseu in order to pay for it. I have been looking on ebay and I keep looking at Kenwood ts-2000's again. I sold the last one because I bought it with a credit card and didn't want to keep owing a balance...
Anyway, any suggestions? I know there are a lot of HF base radios out there. I'm looking for a bigger radio, bigger display, 160 through 6 and VHF capabilities, multiple antenna ports, maybe an antenna tuner built in but it doesn't have to be...
Any ideas?
