Which TRX... FT-857 or IC-7000 for mobile?


Hello at all radio friends,

Who can whisper me... "keep this or this"?
I habe both but using ic-7000 is for me terrible.

It sounds like your mind has already made the decision. You should see if Moleculo has done a review on the IC-7000, his reviews are a great help.

I only have the 857 and use it as a base radio mainly for psk-31 but it's size would be perfect for a mobile in cramped space but most mobiles have remote kits.

The most important thing for chosing a mobile- can you operate the controls while paying enough attention to the road to avoid anything
 
Yeah, to operate ft-857 is much easier... but many said "ic-7k is better , so in filters like also in technology"...

I have both TRXs and one must be gone...

anyway, tnx for quick answer :)

It doesn't matter if one is "technically" better than the other if you can't stand using the "better" one. In your case, the 857 is better for you, so keep that one.
