Check out the elecraft kits, you can have some one built them for you, I
think you'd like that better, I haven't tried it but I know some one who has
the yaesu and I really don't think you'll be happy with that at all from
what my friend says. www.elecraft.com is the elecraft site, check them out
and see what you think. If only I had the money I'd consider getting 1 of
them myself but I just don't have the money right now.
