BG5BJM If you don't need a competition setup or have a car/field station, then Sun can be ruled out. The battery won't provide enough power, so the 891 is also acceptable. This leaves only the QRP option. The 705 and FTX1 are similar in shortwave operation, but the FTX receiver is slightly better. The FTX1 is newer, while the 705 has been around for 6 years. If you need UV (ultra-high frequency) capability, then choose the FTX1. The FTX's UV functionality was transferred from the 510d, and it performs significantly better than the 705. If you need remote control and device synchronization, then choose the 705, as the FTX1 is not as good in this aspect.
