amateur Radio discussed anywhere on ArfCom?
Been thinking about getting my Technician license and looking for recommendations on my first dual band handheld tranceiver. |

Quoted: I pack an FT-2900R and an 8 amp hour gel cell. I used to take my Ft-817 before my sister toasted the charging circuit. I will take a VX-150 if I KNOW there will be good repeater coverage.Quoted: Screw handhelds. Everybody buys a handheld and later thinks, "Gee I could have spent that $100-$200 on a real radio." Right up until the time they get lost or stranded while hiking or camping. LC |
