Congratulations! $925 will _easily_ buy a Yaesu FT-857D, with cash left over for the good full-function mike or an LDG Z-100 tuner, or it will buy a Yaesu FT-897D and maybe still have a bit left over. Either rig is good from 160m through 70cm, and I own and enjoy both. Whatever you wind up getting, I'm really pleased you got the funds. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO [log in to unmask] Tired old sysadmin
