Cut the knot, and ordered the FT 991a for the collection, with cable for RJ 45 to 8 pin microphone connector.
My 22 year old FT 847 with Collins SSB filters just does fine, but i reckon looking at the specs the new 991a will do better on HF and VHF/UHF.
The FT 2000 D will get serviced and sold off as I will do with the FT 847.
Thinking of keeping the FT 100 with Collins AM filter as spare.
Looking forward when it will arrive next week.
New toys for boys...
