Re: ways to spend money:  Send some of it out here and I'll take care of the
problem for you.

Re: 2m transceivers:  From what I have heard, the Kenwood 7950 is about as
nice a rig as is currently available.  I know a number of owners, and I have
heard NOT ONE WORD of complaint, only praise for the unit.

Another possibility is to buy an amplifier for the HT.  That's especially
useful if you travel a lot and want a little more "oomph" than an HT gives
when on a trip.  I have been very happy with the DAIWA 30-watt amplifier.
Mirage makes a couple of nice ones too.

Eh, live it up and buy one of each.  After all, it's only money!

Incidentally, has anyone had experience with the effect of the Mirage
amplifiers with RECEIVE PREAMPS on INTERMOD performance?  I theorize that
a good receive preamp with some selectivity in the front end could actually
improve intermod immunity.  If so, this would be the type of amplifier to
buy for your HT.
