Hi.  I'm considering purchase of a TS-430s HF transciever and 
was wondering what all the people on the net think about it.
Its very capable, reasonably priced and has a general coverage
reciever in it which appeals to me.  Any suggestions on where to buy
it from?

Also, it'd be be plugged into an antenna on the roof of my
apartment building, and I'm relatively unsure what my manager will
let me put up there.  My first thought would be to go
with an all band vertical like the HF6V, but there might be enough space
to put up a wire antenna as long as it didnt have to be too obstructive.
That way I wouldn't need a radial ground system that I gather most verticals
need in order to work well.  The HF6V has a roof mounting kit option
with stub tuned radials, but I'm unclear how well it would
work out.  I'm in the ground floor of a 2 story complex and
the view from the roof is pretty clear in all directions, so I should be able to
get out fairly well from there.  Any suggestions?
