    Also sporting a FT-991a as the main rig for the moment. Fantastic rig in a box and so many features I haven’t even used yet.

    The 991 A works fine on HF/6 meters, it might no have the FTdx 101 figures but even in our busy high signals EU surroundings i does quite well thank you.
    DSP works fine same chipset as 101 but different software but does well enough to dig out stations out of he muck.
    2/70 is decent not stellar and many hings no available like dsp n.b etc which are there on the 9700
    Made first qso on 23 cm 60 miles with all of 10 watts which translates at 8 watt at the antenna...
    Strangely my 2/70 squalo also has good swr on 23....
    Next year add pole on roof 2/70 horizontal and 23 cm horizontal added with rotor..
