What basestation rig has the most buttons? #HamRadio

Despite having my ticket long enough that I need to renew it, I am still very much new to #hamradio
I'd like to get a multimode transceiver; ideally one in mobile form factor. The Yaesu FT-857D looks like a good fit but IDK.
Anybody care to share recommendations for that kind of DC-to-Daylight type swiss army knife of a transceiver? Something where I can both pack it out for mobile operations out of a backpack and also set up at home?
Sunny weather conditions this morning and a perfect day for outdoor #hamradio activities. Today is a bank holiday (Ascention Day), also called 'Father's Day' in Germany. So every male person of 16 years and above make tours into nature, many of them drunk, hollering around.
It's no use trying to activate a #SOTA summit for instance coz you always have bad encounters.
I will go up 'my' hill, for there's only a cemetery.
#amateurradio
I've had fun playing with the equipment and construction parts of #HamRadio , so now It's time to start studying for my Technician and General license exams so I can participate!

Left my rig running overnight on 40m to see what passes by.

Taking my real official ham radio license test this Sunday morning. Kinda nervous.
#HamRadio
Replied in thread
@beardedtechguy Welcome back! And I guess congratulations are in order
Grading and accreditation work are done here, too, for now. I’m currently picking up my NASA work again, building an #Apptainer container to be shipped to Oxford University. Also getting ready to upgrade my #HamRadio license and working on improving my wireless communications class for next semester.
Continued thread
p.s. The time will probably be between 12:00 and 14:00 CEST, and we will probably be using the special callsign
DF70UKW
celebrating our 70th UKW ham radio conference this year, so tune in, catch a picture and send us a report!
Preliminary #hamradio Announcement:
Balloon 70cm SSTV experiment on June 25 in Weinheim with special call DF70UKW
On June 25, we will, weather permitting, launch a weather balloon in Weinheim @DL0WH carrying student-built payloads.
Apart from LoRaWAN-experiments, we will test our prototype of an SSTV module transmitting live pictures on 70cm FM. We will announce the QRG(s) and SSTV Mode!
Stay tuned and tune in, send us a report!
The more I try to do #hamradio #POTA with an x6200 the more I realize that is only possibly on 40m with cw. My RF just doesn't get out there! May be I should relegate the x6200 to SOTA and just build a kit for my #FT857D for POTA. Apologies if you were chasing me for US-12232 on CW and I didn't come back to you. I am much more crap at copying #MorseCode than sending and my crutch (the x6200's built in decoder just wasn't picking up anything even though the signal was super strong.
Could I build a monopole with radiators for 70cm out of a bunch of large nails?

Ooh, looks like something is going on in the 10m band.

Finally got proof that my setup works for receiving 6m!
I was sitting on 52.8700 and an automated message played at the top of the hour.

Tomorrow heading out to the mountains to annoy some trout with my kids. I'll of course be packing my #x6200 and try to do some #amatuerRadio #hamradio #ParksOnTheAir from several possibilities. US-12159, US-4474 at a minimum but also possibly a 2fer or a 3fer with US-10419 and US-12232

I've been riding daily for the last week and this cycle has been the most enjoyable experience. My local Catrike dealer went above and beyond to help me make sure this was the right cycle for me.
Now to figure out where to mount a ham radio!
1/2
I think I can officially declare that I'm a cyclist again!
I used to ride an upright bike for commuting to/from transit, but got out of the habit when I did more car commuting five years ago. I donated my bike to the local community bike group so it could be refurbished and go to good use.
I'm not going back to commuting to transit, but wanted to do more exercise so I invested into a Catrike Dumont which is a recumbent tadpole trike.
Still need to add 29MHz, 51MHz and 23297MHz to the bunch.
The 145MHz one is out of the picture.
And the Televa branded MD59 is waiting to modded far enough for it to be able to accept a connecting port for Module17, for some M17 moppe funs.
