Transceivers
This is the list of transceivers that I owned. First off, a quick comparison of some key specs.
Comparison 1) #

| Icom IC-7300 | 4274 g | 100 W |
| Yaesu FT-891 | 1952 g | 100 W |
| Lab599 TX-500 | 558 g | 10 W |
| Lab599 TX-500 with DIY599 PA500 | 1400 g | 40-50 W |

- some base specs that I consider important for portable operation
- 2)
- Well, I don’t think a 100W transceiver is well-spent, but a little PA with about 30-50 W can make a difference sometimes (instead of 5 or 10 Watts). I tend to look at a good weight-power ratio ;-)
