Hello John, They are down to only army mars. The gentlemen I have talked to have told me that they are doing mostly digital and some back up phone work. I esed to work navy mars back in 89. I'm thinking the ts 2000. I'm looking for an antenea to handle all my hf work. Right now I have an Antron 99. It is going to be up on my chimney soon. I haven't much luck with hf. Thank you for your response.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Genz Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2015 12:24 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: assistance Hello all, I need some assistance from all.
