I am considering purchasing a Yaseu FT-857 with the associated FC-40
antenna
tuner and YA-007 8-ft whip for HF mobile use.

What is your experience with:
-- the FT-857
-- the FC-40 and YA-007 combination
-- other mobile antennas

Thanks.

I bought a 857 last friday it is a super radio I use an ATAS 120 it works
very well and I have worked Australia and the US from the UK no problems
before that I had an FT100D but the 857 is a much better radio I have yet to
try any other antennas
