I am considering a return to maateur radio but am only interested in digi modes...Many years ago I ran a packet station on 2m and 70cm but never ventured onto hf...I am now retired and considering an hf radio but do not know as yet what to buy.....I have looked at the ft817 and the new qrp Icom also the cheaper hf icom...The main difference between the Icom and the 817 seems to be the 817 covers 2m and 70 cm....Is there much activity on these bands in the uk on the digi modes and what comments on my proposed choice of radios ?? -- Regards Ted Wager Using Libranet Linux
