#hamradio people, would it make sense in 2025 to get a FT857 or a IC706mkII in order to have 6m and 2m SSB in a relatively portable factor or should I just go for a larger FT991? It looks like the only HF/UHF rigs out there are either old or huge.
I already have a G90 for portable HF (think SOTA)...

My 1st allmode 2m trx was an Icom 260e.
It didn't perform that well so I changed to Yaesu. I made cables for Yaesu to connect to other equipment so I stuck on Yaesu (FT100, FT847, FT857, FT1000MP, FTdx5000MP, FTdx10).
No complains. Yaesu never let me down.

I'm comparing it with the FT857. Yes, hearing aids and glasses are expensive if you want decent ones.

There's occasional activity here - the local club seem to have a net which I've listened in on. I've never managed to get the hang of CW - thankfully long since dropped as a requirement for HF!
Revisiting the temptation to find a used FT857 and maybe do some bicycle mobile operations.

Haven't been active on the radio for a while. Seems I have missed a resurgence in AX25 Packet use? Heard some traffic this afternoon & following some advice on themodernham.com got FT857, Direwolf & Paracon connected to GB7DIN - First time I've connected to a packet mailbox/BBS
