I have Yaesu FT-817, Heathkit HW-7, Magnum 1012, Mizuho MX-28S. I get the biggest kick from the Mizuho. The Heathkit sucks, so does the Magnum 1012. The 817 also generates a bit of fun, event though I despise it. It works really well, but I hate the user interface.What is everyone thats doing qrp, or at least under 20w, using these days?
I had a 705 but wanted to have more power than 10w max sometimes. Thought about getting a Hard Rock 50w amp but I thought the price was too high. Sold the 705 and used that money to buy the FT-710 and a 20Ah LifePO4 battery . I use the 710 for portable ops (POTA).Probably not true QRPing, but every now and again I'll turn the 710 down to 5w and return a CQ coming from Europe.
