Hi John:
Why does the PS-53 Yaesu combo give you a horrible feeling? (LOL)
I think Yaesu products are equal to those of Icomm and any other of the modern stuff available. Of course, the 2 best receivers I've ever heard were a Yaesu FT-102, which I made my vary first HF contact on and my old TS-940SAT.
I don't think my new rig is going to come close by far to either but it should be better than the 570. Just an opinion! LOL

Best bang for the buck ratio was certainly another deciding factor and the eham reviews show that.
