I would be much better if I didn't sell all my radio gear. And decided I missed the radio and needed to get back in the hobby. So I bought the restored lk500 from AL, From MAf-tech. And only had $200.00 left and still needed a radio.pa770 had one for sale so I bought his cobra 148gtl. Knowing there was no way that was going to drive the lk500 without a 100-watt amp. And also neede a turner I had sold my Dentron 2k. So without those two things looks like I would have been better off buying a Yaesu ft-1000mp. Could not make up my mind between a big amp and little radio or nice Transceiver. Starting to look like I made a mistake. I miss having both a nice transceiver and nice amplifier. I thought if I don't get the amp and get the radio I would not be heard very well in dx land. Any thoughts?
