In times past, when I bemoaned the fact that I couldn't afford a radio, I've had people offer to loan me one of theirs that they're not using. I don't have anything surplus that's actually working, or I'd loan you one of mine. One thing, though. Make sure you've budgeted for antennas, feedlines, an antenna tuner, (if you need one,) and a power supply.

I just passed my General exam so many options are open to me and I'd like to explore a lot of those options. I currently own a Baofeng HT and a Yaesu FT2900 two meter transceiver, but no equipment for HF. I've been looking at HF VHF UHF units. I've even looked at the Alesis KX3 and the Flex 1500. They don't cover the VHF-UHF bands but they do appeal to me. Bottom line, I don't want to spend more than a thousand dollars if possible. What do you suggest? As Sergeant Schultz used to say on Hogan's Heroes, "I know nothing." I'll really appreciate your suggestions. JP (Richard) Pritchard KG5MBG -- Jonathan Guthrie KA8KPN
