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. Wayne 73 kd2jpq.

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!
