I've made up my mind to retire the old TS-440 rather than fixing it.
Trying to make up my mind what to get, I want to use it on the boat and in the shack.
Was thinking about an IC-7100, a friend of mine stopped by yesterday with his mobile and I played with it for several hours.
It worked very well, but the panel is so dam small, but my big meat hooks had trouble with the touch screen while sitting still, let alone in a rocking boat.
Thinking about, FT-857D but it's very small, FT-991, TS-2000, and TS-480SAT. I haven't seen any of these in the flesh, kind of leaning to the TS-2000 or the TS-480SAT. The 480 is a lot like the 440 that I'm use to, but would like VHF and UHF in one rig.
Wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these or opinons.
Thanks
