If you're looking for used, give preference to radio's which have a Mutek front-end build

I prefer the Yaesu FT736-R (with Mutek) over many other radio's, however this is personal.
Guess the fact that you don't often see them used is a sign?
If you want the very best look for something like a TS850+transverter (SSB Electronics
LT2+ or DB6NT) but that will cost you.

To get into the VHF scene in Europe check into the ON4KST site at www.on4kst.com/chat Lots
of info can be gotten there as well as real-time propagation and activity info.

Thanks to everyone who responded, I will bear in mind all your
comments. I have few months to decide before I have the cash. On
with the research!
