       I don't know how good it is for the different bands that are commonly used;   
   I guess I need to break my lethargy and start reading the HAM test guide   
   materials in order to know enough about that.  From what I've been able to   
   glean it sounds like it's an okay old-school receiver/transmitter, but a little   
   bit overpriced.  Also, it's all analog, and I'm seriously doubting that it'd   
   work with anything AX.25, which I also want the capability of.  You are correct   
   in that it does not come with the antenna.
