I'd love to see a replacement for the Yaesu 817/857/897, but I'm not holding my breath
edit: same thing from Icom - something like the 706 series. I'm thinking a 7300 with VHF/UHF in a nice, compact package. |

I am hoping to buy a new dual band mobile rig. Been running a pair of Motorola Maxtrac's for the last 15 years or so. I decided that it is time to upgrade if something catches my eye. If nothing new then my intent is to buy the FTM-100d, and a nice antenna and mount.

Triband (144/220/440) Kenwood D-Star HT that has:
Kenwood receiver quality which means full dual receive capable of satellite work especially now that there is a D-Star Amsat. ICOM ID51 is a piece of shit when it comes to dual receive. Full TNC for APRS or Packet like the D72. I want to believe....... Rumors have been rampant about something from Kenwood D-Star related showing up at Dayton. My ICOM will be up for sale the minute it gets announced. |

I'll be eligible to join the QCWA in 2 years and I was first licensed when I was 10. I've worked all HF bands, all VHF, and all UHF through 900. I've used every well-recognized mode - SSB, CW, AM, FM, P25, several digital voice modes, SSTV, satellites, most digital keyboard modes, DXing, contests, ragchews, been a long standing member of quite a few nets and the only thing I'm anti is internet modes because they add infrastructure to an otherwise infrastructure-free communications system. VOIP is not ham radio. Chasing DX is pretty boring for me, I think SSTV is kinda lame. But if other people enjoy it I really don't care; it doesn't affect me at all. I genuinely dislike working repeaters because of the people I commonly find using them. I listen far more than I talk and most of the people I hear reinforce that policy. But I'm not about to proclaim that I'm anti-2 meters. |

A guy can dream, right? I'm guessing my specific needs are more specific than I thought.
Thus my biggest gripe about the amateur market. Having a cobbled-together, wire-and-cable-tentacled mess is not what I'm after, which is what you're stuck with if you want something between a traditional rig, and a QRP-specific setup. I'd like something for SOTA other than an 817. That's about the only viable option that costs less than an ATV. 
I'd just like to see a TNC as standard-option in 2016. And LCD Screens vs. LCD alphanumerics. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Because an internal TNC may not have the flexibility I'd like. Example: FTM-400. As best as I can tell, I can't use the internal TNC to run winlink to support RMS Express. Forgot to list on my Dayton wishlist: to come home with 1. a tnc-x, 2. a transportable antenna pole/tripod and also 3. the poles & hardware to convert a BUD support pole to a 40-50' vertical for VHF/UHF & a weather station. DXEngineering, are you listening? It's a 3" pole. OmniTilt only goes up to 2.5 inches. Yes I have a plan, filed under redneck ham engineering. |

I really wish the K2 was about 1/3 the price. It would actually have a market at that price I think as it fits in this niche that people keep asking for, but that frankly it's just priced out of. The mcHF kit project that another member here has completed looks very interesting. Again though, it's really designed around a nominal 10W power level it seems. There are a couple of Russian/Eastern European radio projects that look interesting but that will probably never be viable. There is a kit SDR HF radio that I think can do up to 20 watts called the "Tulip" or "Tulipan". There are a lot of videos on youtube, which would be much more informative if you were fluent in Russian 
Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joKa3BVleHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU7DrufbZks There is another radio called the SW2013 with a more simple setup it seems. This video has both the "Tulipan" and the "SW2013" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=572dOk8WMtc There is ingenuity out there, just hard to get it to the mass market. And the people doing mass market amateur radio don't understand (at a minimum) a lot of the new market forces in amateur radio. |

Yeah I totally agree on the first point, but either you have an all in one box and live with it, or you have a modular box and deal with the mess of cabling. I used to really hate the cabling, but as I've been running my 817 I'm appreciating the ala-carte nature more and more. Have you looked at LNR precision, they have SOTA specific rigs for not unreasonable prices. |

The ANAN-10E is 15-20 watts out according to their specs. And a fairly small package. You do need a laptop though. https://apache-labs.com/productImages/T500_1044_ANAN-10%202.jpg A decent high end laptop at that IIRC. Not too practical for portable. |

Nice, but $1k is too much for my intents for the 25W radio. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If you want a shit hot SDR with 100W, get the ANAN-100B. $1795 at Gigaparts and HRO. Maybe they'll have a show special? The only thing the 100B doesn't do compared to the 100D or 200D is true diversity receive. |

Hopefully it'll be revealed what the Yaesu FT-891 is.
It was reported as a QRP radio but maybe is just a small full power radio. http://www.gigaparts.com/Yaesu-FT-891-HF-6M-Transceiver.html |

Going to the authoritative source: FCC
From the pictures I think ft-857 replacement more than ft-817. Looking at the ID images the power portion shows 23 amps. HF/50 MHz Amateur Transceiver ID Label/Location Info ID_Drawing Yaesu Musen Co., Ltd.

The calls for a 817 replacement have been getting pretty loud. |
