        I recently had (?) to go throught this same decision-making process.
Naturally, I posted a plea to net.ham-radio.wisdom for pointers,
recommendations, and advice on the matter. I was not disappointed. I had also
promised to summarize the replies I got, for the benefit of readers like
yourself. I still intend to do so, Real Soon Now.

        I can note here that I finally opted for the FT-470, and so far I
haven't been disappointed. I'll explain more fully when I get around to the
summary posting. Until then, my hearty thanks and 73s to those who responded!
