Yaesu FT7

This was one of the best rigs I have ever owned. It covered HF up to 10m (no WARC bands in those days!). It was a 10W rig really designed for mobile. Later they did a 50W version (FT7B) with 4 bands covering all of 10m. There were no memories and there was no synthesiser. It still allowed me plenty of DX especially on 10m.

These days a rig far smaller with Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi covering all the bands (not 4m) up to 70cm with all modes is available.

I think a friend still has my old FT7 somewhere.
