So after a very short time with the Yaesu 2980 and the TYT 9800, I realized that I was missing what had been the best radio I’ve ever owned, the Yaesu 857D. I packed up the 2980 and 9800 and shipped them back and bought the 857D. I’ll be setting it up with a YOYO Vee 3 band portable dipole. I also got a bunch of Baofeng GT-5TP handheld radios because they’re just fun. I’ll post more once I’m up and running with the 857D.
