Default 6M/2M/70CM FM Rig


Rigs like the Icom IC-706 and IC-7000 come to mind. These give you
those bands as well as HF. The advantage to radios like this is that
you can operate SSB on 6-meters. I think you would be much better of
with SSB than FM if you are interested in DX.



The Yaesu FT-817 comes to mind, too, if you can get by with only 5
watts.
