Hey everybody, My old Radio Shack Pro-164 scanner that I used for DFing to my TeleMinis just died. My only HT is a crummy Baofeng with a worthless signal meter. I’m headed to Hartsel to fly in a few weeks, so I need a replacement soon. What’s everyone’s favorite (still in production & available) HT with a good signal meter for hunting down TeleMini-avbay’ed rockets?
For antennas, I’m using an Arrow 440-3, fox hunt loop and their offset attenuator (all BNC connectors). I’ve read through sites like homingin and others - I’m looking for real world rocket people recommendations please. I’d like to stay under $300, but I can go over if I need to. That said, I don’t want to spend money just to spend money. I’d like to get an HT instead of just a receiver/scanner so that I can ditch my Baofeng, but I don’t have any other real requirements aside from being a good DFing unit with my existing antennas. Yaesu VX-6R maybe? What about the much cheaper FT-4XR? Any others? Thanks a ton!
