The Irving, TX Ham Com offered me the opportunity to look at the market of small 2 Meter FM radios.
I saw the Kenwood TM-281A, Yaesu FT-1900 and Andy's Leixen VV-898 (also Jet Stream) All are about $135. The K and Y are 2 Meter only at 55 watts. The Leixen is dual band at 10 watts. All of these units are quite small although they have depth that is greater than a front panel alone, but due to the small size quite manageable for what I need. Since I already have Yaesu's I will probably stick with the 1900, but the Kenwood looks great too, as the speaker is on the front panel, so an external speaker will not be required, lessening the total space needed. Just putting closure on the thread that I started 2 weeks ago. Thanks to all that commented...73...Rick - W5RH
