   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
