If I were limited to those two options I would go with the yaesu.

Hmm, you consider that a "limited" option ?

Guess I'm out of my league.

That and limited in the amount of hours on the toilet that it would require to read the instruction manual :)

Are you not male? We do not read instructions manuals! :P Or something like that.

Truth be told. If I were going to dump 5+k down on something at this moment (radio related) it would be a retrofitted setup. Likely Collins.

When would a Ham decide to go to such advanced radio? Would you have one if you are just going to sling a 100 ft wire over it. Or would you have to have the tower and high gain directional something?

I would really think it depends on the ham. Watching the forums over the years there are many cases of both. Just listen to many of the RC groups on 75 and 40. A lot of those guys get the latest and greatest while running an inverted v at 35f. Often times they only run one or two bands and in some cases only one frequency.

I really dont think this question can have any one answer.
