So while my top-end rig is being repaired i decided to buy a new cheaper rig as a temporary standin. I decided to get a FT-991A. It has a waterfall display and can do digital voice on both HF and VHF/UHF which means it will actually still be useful to me after my main rig is fixed. Looking forward to trying C4FM over HF frequencies!
@freemo Cool stuff Doc, a lot of people are moving to laptops with SDR software. There's something about having the radio thats nice. right?
