      Hi Steven!              11 Sep 2016 13:27, from Steven Sheeley -> All:               SS> I'm looking at taking my test and finally get a Ham setup going.        SS> My question is where is the best area to get HAM equipment and what is        SS> a good starting rig?        SS> Looking for both mobile for my truck and a base station.              I made my test not too long ago as well.       I bought a Yaesu FT-450D it was a nice beginners Transceiver, and I am happy       with it.       If you want to spend a little more, then I have heared good things of the ICOM       7300.       You can also look at eham.net.              I am sure that more experienced HAMs will give you more detailed advice.              Cannot comment much on mobile transceivers.              CU, Ricsi              --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: You can never have too much storage (2:310/31)    |
