TS-480sat has built in tuner. Mine has served well as portable and base. Have installation ready for
it mobile. Not used it that way yet. FT-857 somewhat sensitive to heat; the display.

And have not put any antenna yet. I am sure someone there will have what you need.

With that in mind I am leaning toward a FT-857d or a T-480. Need so on air experience / comments on these units. Neither has a built in tuner so would need to get a screw driver ant. Want the best so I do not have to replace it if I change out the radio. Any suggestions?
