[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 557168, member: 10784"] Here we go again..... another NON Photographic Purchase..... Ups dropped off a large box yesterday..... Feels like Xmas in May! [ATTACH=CONFIG]211894._xfImport[/ATTACH] Upon opening, I found my new Ham radio, an auto antenna tuner and interface cable!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]211896._xfImport[/ATTACH] The radio is a new Yaesu FT-991, I call it a "Shack in a box" in that it calls ALL legal ham bands... My Dual Band (VHF/UHF) is in for repair and I was actually looking for a backup. I tend to like redundancy (2 camera bodies, 2 motorcycles etc) I could not find the one I wanted (discontinued) and was not that impressed with the other available dual bands. It got me thinking, what if my HF rig died??? So, after a lot of research decided on this setup as it covers all bands and all modes. I needed a tuner for the other HF anyway so bought that at the same time. [ATTACH=CONFIG]211895._xfImport[/ATTACH] And.... here it is operating last night, and I really like it!
