I am getting older and the 940 is getting heavier ..... looking at the 897
for FD use and as a backup .... I did check e-ham and the related comments
which would probably fit essentially all the equipment out there .....My
primary concern is if the 897 is an acceptable plus CW radio ..... I don't
really care about the SSB attributes or deficits. Now don't say the K-2
with 100 watt amp as I built a K-2 and don't have the time at present to
pursue another build ......although I really like that rig ..... Thanks in
advance to all .
