Re: was TX ERR, now FT-817, FT-991A, and MOTA

Hi Marty, Don't know the FT-857D, but the FT-991A has everything and all reviews say it's great, so I'd feel safe in saying that the FT-991A is a complete and deluxe upgrade for the FT-857A.

Hi Chuck
A question please. Is it safe to say the FT-991A is a good
replacement for the FT-857D?
Say size wise and mostly the same but up to date or with more
features?
Thanks

Planning to get either a PTT or VOX headset for it.
Very happy with my 2 FT-991As. ?Will do "expeditions"
in my minivan sized RV and use nearby repeaters that have
90 mile radius as I search for hobby farms that still
raise the Stone Mountain Cannonball watermelons (aka Black
Diamond). ?,,,
