Which branch of MARS? I may be able to help you out if you need it with the 
digital and you'll be far from the first. I'm happy with my TS-2000, that's 
what I mainly use and it's served me well. MARS mainly focuses on HF though 
so you could get away with the TS-480 if you wanted to. You don't need much 
more than that unless you want it.

handle all bands and all modes. I'm not going to ve using the ham side of
the house I will be soing MARS operations. From the information I have
received so far it's going to be a lot of digital. Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thanks Wayne kd2jpq at least for now!
