Ask your technical class instructor what he would recommend. He may program his radios and be able to "clone" it in a few minutes--if you have the exact same radio he does. While popular, HTs aren't always the best choice for a new ham. It may not enough range in rural or mountainous areas. Its receiver may be lacking in dense urban areas. A base station may make more sense. Zak W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
