Ham Radio info??

[charlie12]

Is TYT brand any good? TYT-TH-9800-Cross-Band-Transceiver looks like it has alot of bang for the buck. NEVERMIND, china special.

I ordered a TYT TH-UV88 handheld to play with. It should be here in a couple days.

I dont know him, I think theres a couple people on my road with ham licenses.

Mark is a good guy he's been a ham a long time. He's a welder so he works alot

Just received my call sign. KI5NKO

Congrats. You've got a easy call sign to say

chinese, can you tell I don't like chinese electronics?

Naa, didnt pick up on that. I'm not one to willingly support communism, but they do jam pack a lot of features into them. I've never held a "non chinese" unit, so nothing to compare my little Baofeng to.

Looks like a cool radio, does it come with a programming cable?

Damn I wish I hadn’t looked at this post...I sold all of my transceivers maybe 15 years ago and kept some meters to tune antennas for friends. I got out of it to pursue a different hobby and now y’all got me thinking about getting a Ching Chang HT now to get reacquainted.....KD5DYM

No problems at all! Y’all may hear me before long! One of my younger coworkers is getting into it and it has kinda sparked my interest again..what’s the latest and greatest 2M/440 Yaesu HT out there now?

FT-3dr? I dont know how high they go to be honest.

 

[BOSS351]

Wow they ain’t cheap!! But looking at everything I looked at it appears all have gone up in price since I bought gear! Used may be a more viable option or...China made!

Yes. APRS and C4FM digital, System Fusion and Wires X.

It has a color touch screen too.

I think i'm going to work on getting a base station setup. Id like to use a mobile radio so I could swap it from truck to shack. Maybe the Icom ID-5100A Deluxe, its 50 watts, or maybe a yeasu.
Anyone know of anywhere that sells radios that accepts bitcoin?
