Which rig to choose (FT-920 TS-570S IC-746 Pro)
I am having a heck of a time choosing between these three rigs. Any
personal experiences or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Yaesu FT-920 (incl YF116A & FM-1) Kenwood TS-570S (incl YK-88SN-1 SSB filter) Icom IC-746 Pro (no addons) I am looking for reliability vs bells and whistles..... Thanks in advance..... Homac (Please post responses) |

The FT-920 is the quietest rig I have ever owned. Very popular on 6 meters
too. You can find one used for $750 to 900 too. 73 Dave K4JRB |

I think the Icom may have better numbers, however based on eHam
several users reported reliability issues. Perhaps they have since ironed out the bugs?? "W6DKN" wrote in message ... wrote: The FT-920 is the quietest rig I have ever owned.

I currently run the FT920. Quietest receiver I have ever heard, next to my TS850S. |
