I have the TS-570 here in the shack at home, but I am looking for something
small I can use in my camper,  I have no room in that camper, I will pretty
much have to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom with the thing  lol, no
place to put anything so I want something as small as I can get so I can run
it when I am out camping and can take home with me when I come back from
camping for a couple days, somehting I can use in the shack here and
something with everythign in it, where I go there is a lot of 2 meter
activity and I listen to ECARS dayly so I need something with everything in
it otherwise I would just keep my TS-440 and use that in the camper, I just
don't have room for it and it is a bit much to lug with me every time we
watn to eat and I have to get it off the table or what ever  lol.  I don't
think it is that bad in there but get all 3 of us in there it will be for
sure.
