Recently started looking at this radio. After Delta paid me to postpone my trip for a day, they gave me enough for this radio and then some. I stopped by HRO and bought it. I spent some time today tuning an EFHW made from a chalk line, and hopefully tomorrow I will get out to use it. Anyone used one of these before for digital, or other modes? Any M17 HF nets?

Had someone at my local club show this radio off as a great SOTA radio. Really liked the size of it and the features it packed. Was debating on this or the KX2

The weird connectors are a big turn off for me. I don't want to need to remember even more cables and adaptors.

The price between this and the KX base aren't that far off. So probably a decent comparison. The BP-500 battery pack is difficult to come by, but I am considering making my own. For now, I am using bioenno batteries. I was also torn between this and the KX line but this one was available and I was in a sales tax-free state, so I jumped. Others have compared this with the IC-705. I think the 705 is more fully featured, but not really designed to withstand abuse.
