After a twenty year leave, I'm getting back into amateur radio, mainly
to refamiliarize myself with, and practice, the "radio arts".
I want to buy a base station that I can grow into, and have a radio
budget of no more than $2000. Of the brands that are readily available,
Yaesu, ICOM, and Kenwood appear to have continuing strong reputations.
The Yaesu FT-847, Kenwood TS-2000, and ICOM 746Pro present themselves
as plausible reference models for all-band, all-mode operation.
Much has changed in the equipment available since 1975 (understatement of
the day). If you have experience with an all-band, all-mode model within
those or other products lines in that price range, I would appreciate
any feedback.
Thanks.
Mark
