I have made the trip to the local Ham Store and after viewing all the rigs
that they had on the shelves I have limited my choice down to the following
three rigs listed below.

If there are any owners of the Radios listed I would love to have your
input about your radio and would you buy the same again? Also, if there
is a person, I would appreciate hearing from someone that has owned one,
two or three of the radios listed and how you would compare the lot based
upon your operating experience. Also if you had a specific gripe about
one? Thanks

Rig #1 IC-746PRO by Icom HF, 50M, 2 Mdeters

Rig #2 TS-2000S by Kenwood

Rig #3 Mark-V (FT-1000MP) Field by Yaesu

I have obtained my impressions of each by listening at the controls of
each and while two have VHF and one VHF & UHF while the last is HF only

While I am not going to be making a decision for a while I cherish any
input from current or past owners on their experiences.
