Hi Eric;
I too like your choices. Even if you run qrp for now you still have the
convenience of a radio that can be fully controlled without your computer.
I
highly recomend the handiham mp3 manuals. I listened and found them far
more
helpful than the mere pdf of the regular manual. I have antennas and coax
in
the garage and a local club promising to show up. I am holding off on the
ts480 until folks actually show up. Even there is dsp I plan on probably
two
filters along with the voice board.
best of luck
Richard
