Well, given that I"m looking like I might improve my financial situation
with in the next year enough to buy a new HF radio, I like the sound of the
746 pro on the air, but after a review, if you will, like this one, I'm back
to my original thought of the TS-2000. I think I might have to talk some one
in to a ride up to HRO where I can really sit down and play with the 746 pro
and TS-2000 between now and then. Not sure if I could be happy with the 480
but if the price came down some, it could be a backup radio down the road a
few years, there's just a lot I don't care for on that radio though if I was
going mobile HF I might be considering it.
