I'll second xtatik's comments. You will be well served with the FT60.

Good luck on your test!

Just passed my Tech License test in Livermore this afternoon. I'll start studying for my General on Monday but for now I'll just celebrate!

Looks like I'll be taking this new job in Carlsbad so I might be using some of your help once I start working on my rig.
