I've got a Butternut HF6V which needs a little cleaning. I want to put it up before the WPX contest.
How much trouble did you have setting up the radials and how does it work?
ok, thanks
I ground mounted it with 12 counterpoise wires each about 20' long. The hardest part was putting them under the soil. Some bands I can use the antenna without the tuner, others need the tuner. But this thing really kicks ass, especially on the higher frequencies. I spent the extra bucks to get the 12 and 17 meter add on kits, it was money well spent.
I mentioned the wrong radio, I'm thing of unloading one of my FT-857's.
One has a minor display issue, (missing an LCD line) but works fine.

I'm interested in the one without any issues.
Yea, I'm gonna keep that one. The display issues are minor, but I understand.
I'd probably let it go for $600.

well i got the 706's but they both have problems. and I can't sell something that is not working 100% right, if I see someone in the area selling one. I will let you know.
