The SGC 2020 is discontinued, as is the Yaesu FT-100D The 857 is essentially the same rig as the 897 without the battery pack, once you add in a battery for portable use, the weight will be about the same. One advantage of the 897 is that has bigger controls than the 857. Personally I use a Icom 703 for portable work. 10 Watts is enough most of the time. -- Alex/AB2RC |

Mine packs 100W all bands all modes into a very small package. Check out their site at www.elecraft.com WARNING - Cheap they are not. You get what you pay for. -- Phil Kane Beaverton, OR |
