I've been playing HF mobile since 1993

by a wide margin, My favorite is the Kenwood TS-480HX paired up with a TARHEEL II antenna.

you don't need an antenna tuner, because the antenna is quickly made resonant

unlike the 706, 857, and 891, the rig doesn't require diving into complicated menus for every change.

It's a joy to operate, 200 watts is nice too.

My HS-1800 & tune controller act as a built in tuner. I QSY, press the "Tune" button & it tunes under 1.3:1. 80M to 10M, no problem. The 7000 is my favorite, because of the 7.3" outboard screen.

What do you think the best hf mobile radio would be. I would like it to be fairly compact with an on board tuner. It probably will not be mounted permanently and transferred between vehicles. So I guess it does not have to be solely considered a mobile rig. I know many of you has experience in this area, any words of wisdom?
Thanks Brian kb4mng
