Please bare with me on this a moment...
I need to get a new mobil radio as I have been without for 4 years now !
My beloved 2950dx with Sp1a was stolen that long ago.
The thought of Killing is no longer with me, but I would give whoever no less
than 4 flat tires, The S.O.B. was probley a Dope dealer and sold it for next to nothing.
At least if it was a operator of any kind they been through a dry spell using it, and
left the high dollar stuff behind .. So Much For That 
These days I have a short drive of 20 min. or less and not able to DX from the work
as I used to do.. Secret to wining DX Contest 
How I miss those days of having the
radio available 24/7.
Money not being what it was and not getting any better as I am sure you all know
I seem to have a hard time making a final decision as what to buy.
My first thoughts are try and find a new 2950dx and hope to find a SP1a somewhere
so at least I can work 10 meters and that rare 12 meter contact also be able to
catch some of you guys on the upper 27s I know,I know so dont say it.
Second thought is to find a older Icom i.e. 735,751,751a ect and run it mobil and
Put a Shoot to Kill Sign on the truck. BTW I know about the memory concerns.
Last thought is a true H.F. rig of todays minature radio computers that I have a hard
time reading even when used as a base.
I hate orange displays and Icom does not seem to offer much. I am a fan of the Older
Kenwoods and they have something for mobil but not much of anything, it seems these
days.
That leaves Yaesu and I understand the display is switchable in its colors ?
I really dont care for VHF and have a FT2800M that was mobil for all of maybe 2 days
sitting on the front seat. I am using it in the shack as a weather radio and do some
simplex from time to time.
Does it sound if I need or want a new radio for mobil Need NO, Want YES, so
Unless some Ol tightwad like Doc or some HighRoller like Hammer wants to send me one
I would thank you in advance for your thoughts and recomendations.....
Best Regards,
