Hi Hans

I have a Yeasu FT-100D in my little Chevy Metro and it works great. I have
also used the Icom 706 on Field Days. Both are good working radios and could
compete with the big rigs. One thing about the 100d is that it draws 20 plus
amps on transmit and I don't think a motor bike would be able to put out
that kind of power. One other thing about the 100d is that it needs the AM
filter. If you do look at Yeasu for your bike make sure that it will take
the ATAS antenna system and that would give you full courage from 40 meters
to 70 cm and is self tuning.

Hi all,
What is your practical experience of all these new very small (and
attractive) HF transceivers?
Can they deliver good quality with that small foot print?

cheers,
