RS 10/11 worked out real good for me. I was doing a lot of travelling in 1987-90, and was able to make a lot of mobile QSO's using an IC-230 (10 watts on CW) with one frequency

I used to run 10W SSB into a vertical on RS-10, and receive on a random bit of wire across the garden. This setup worked well. Never got the same results on RS-12/13, even with 25W SSB, except when I aimed a beam at the bird.
