It's a nice radio. So much better than the 11m sets. Will be nice to try it on propagation. Quite easy to use. Also easy to do the mod to unlock all the bands... Thanks to Simon.

I just new you would buy a big HF bugger in the end Laughing

10 meter rigs converted to 11Meters are fine for what they do, but I love my FT857D very simmilar I imagine to this radio.

Go on Dave, buy some of the extras for it Very Happy

I reckon it's well time for Kevin to open his wallet, dust off those big white five pound notes and invest in something simmilar to this rig, what do you reckon Dave.

( Watch out for the swarm of moths when Kevin opens his wallet lmao lol!
