Why it's a LDG AT-897 of course. |

Brilliant! Actually, it a Yaesu FT-897d HF/UHF/VHF transceiver, which means it will do 1.8-30MHZ, 50/144/440mhz bands as well. Puts out 100watts on hf, 50 on vhf, and 40 on uhf, the AT-897 is the Auto Tuner, paired with a one touch tune, making antenna tuning abreeze. Man this thing is complicated though, these menus could be friendlier. |

 Negative!! CB is max 4 watts... I'll push a hundred on every legal amateur radio frequency (minus vhf and uhf which push lower power limits) Show me a $900 cb!

Well... you can it has been done before by other ham radio ops, it will also communicate with satellites, repeaters and operators around the world.

CBs are so 70ish.
You should get one of those fancy Motorola two-way radios from Walmart. Get the expensive $50 ones.  |

Couldn't you do the same with a cb and a 100 Watt LNA? For more cheeper?

Cool, I've been looking at a mobile high power unit myself. How much. New, used? This is the one that has cross band repeat, yes!

$900 for a stinking CB? You can get a nice one from K-Mart for $39.99 on sale. I hope you got a lot of "bling" for that price.

Well... yes and no. CBs operate on the 11 meter band only. You could get that kind of signal out with an lna, but it is illegal, it's bad enough we have the ATF to deal with, the FCC is a different ball park. And you give it away that you are using an amp for the CB, because anyone listening to your signal will hear an echo or ringing. This sucker operates on all bands, which gives you flexibility for making the best out of conditions, sunspots, temperature, time of day, everything has an impact on signal propogation, much like ballistics. Can't do morse code, radio teletype, packet, APRS on cb either without modifications as well, which would be a waste of time and energy. |

No cross band repeat, I'll get to the SF later. Bought it new from hamcity.com 864+168 for the tuner+56 for the one touch tune. |

Just the other day I talked to a guy in Germany on 6 meters I'm also part of MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) which lends communications backup to the government and military during disaster, and handles welfare traffic from the states to war zones to deployed soldiers as well. I haven't been blessed to do that yet, but the possibiities of who can be contacted are endless. |
