Quite a few by my estimation. I know of at least six at Illinois Carry and a few here in the WI forum. Just watch out for the Extra's there all a little strange.

You should have told me that before. I would have said hello before saying "hello." :p

How do you like the 897D? I've been wanting to get something with a longer batter life than my Yaesu FT-60.

I only have a IC 706 MK2G. I'm still a little irked about it because it is supposed to do 50W on 6M, but it only does 20. Maybe it needs some programming, or maybe a 7000 replacement.
