Best QRP Rig? posted by Luis/CU2IJ on 06/11/02 I agree with those who say "it depends". It depends on what you want and your operating habits. A diehard CW op may be best served with an Elecraft. The Yaesu is tiny and offers more bands with very decent performance. The Ten Tec Argonaut V is an IF DSP radio that is software upgradable, and Ten Tec's service is outstanding. In other words, they are all good choices, but it really depends on your mode of operation, favorite bands. etc... My personal favorite QRP rig, which is still in production, is the Tokyo Hy-Power HT-750. It only covers three bands, 6, 15, and 40 meters, SSB/CW, but it's a *handheld*. I like to go hiking and take a radio, and it is far more convenient for that than any radio you listed. Oh, and it has a surprisingly good receiver. However, it's only two modes and three bands. So, what's best for me is probably not what's best for you. 72,  |
