ahoy, thank you to Bruce-kk5do , Rick-wa4nvm , Dave-kb1vph , Greg-ko6th , Eric-on4hf , Scott-n1aia for the replies and help. i was looking at the comet cf-4160 (must be the new version), if i need it, and will be on the air from grid cn81 soon. i have a new LiIon battery on order, so i can run full power, 5W, from my th-f6a. thanks very much !
