Hi;
I have found this thread rather interesting since when I get antennas up
next spring I will have a similar choice. I may be incorrect but after you
add two filters and the microphone adaptor there isn't as big a price
difference as there was between the two rigs. I think I once decided it was
about $400.00
My real considerations would be the quality of the hf receiver and whether I
want hf uhf and vhf all in one radio? Since many folks may al ready own a 2
meter radio they may or may not want to duplicate things.
From what I have been told I'm not certain the increased accessibility is a
real concern. The fact that I hear a number for the mike gain setting is a
nice convenience but counting worked well with the 570.
