As for modes/power, I'm really not sure. Still only a technician (studying for general exam) but have been doing some FT8. I'll probably be doing some Winlink (Vara) in the future. Looking to expand with POTA/SOTA in the near future.?
While I have looked at the ATAS-120, it seems to really need some counterpoise if it's not used on a vehicle. I've been using a MPAS and JPC-12 vertical along with a homebrew 10m dipole (speaker wire to a BNC connection), properly tuned. I'd like to try an EFHW or off center dipole but will need a tuner.?
I guess I would like to see something that could handle the full 100w if needed versus a QRP rig.
