Welcome to a fellow ham. Coyotebc. That TYT 9800 looks interesting and much cheaper than the Yaesu. How does it perform for you? I’ve run a very simple inverted V wire antenna in my back yard for many years and made some very interesting contacts including antarctica. Of course. I can’t compete in contests with guys using tri-banders on 100’ towers but I still have a lot of fun. I hope you can put together a shack.
