My latest addition to the shack is the Xiegu X6100. It is a QRP transceiver for HF and 50 MHz. It can do up to 5W on battery power, and 10W when connected to an external power source.
This radio is going to go with me on trips to the outdoors and of course on vacation. The compact form factor makes it tremendously suitable for this.
The Yaesu FT-897 is my main radio. It is an all-mode, all-band transceiver, and can generate 100Watt on most bands.
The bands it supports are 160-10m, 6m, 2m, 70cm, and it can do all modes (SSB, AM, FM, CW, Digi) on all those bands.
I bought this radio second hand years ago. It still works fine. I use it most often when on HF, because the 100W output gets me heard much better than the 10W of my Xiegu.
