Amen to the TS-940S!!
My advice is:
If you can grab one that's in grate shape and for a good price,
go for it. I love mine. It blows the 570 out of the water. At least that's what my regular contacts tell me who have heard me on a 570.
On the other hand, I did enjoy the one I had and it was a good performer and blind friendly with its VS-3 if you leave it alone.
My 940 should give me a few years yet until I retire her and then hopefully the Yaesu FTDX9000 200W model will be waiting in the wings! <HI>
