The FT 847 is good on 500 khz with a good antenna. I have one here but the
Datong UC/1 upconverter IF 144 and 28 mhz fed into the ICOM 746 is better.
Those using the mini whip are doing well but it is no substitute for a real
antenna like a 1/4 wave or large loop if you have the space and a quiet
environment.
