In Deer {ark and Pasadena, were lucky to get 2 bars on 3g cell service during middle of the day & both ATT U-Verse and Verizon Internet slows to a crawl until early hours of morning, the TV reception never fails to go out sometime during 5 or 6 p.m. newscast, causing need to reset TV & hope it comes back on... ATT U-Verse Internet is slower than DSL Internet I had on Bellaire Blvd, 2 blocks from phone company (Now the apartment complex gone, nothing but 2 blocks of dirt surrounded by chain link fence..!

Sorry Scott, took that a different way than what you meant. What you say is true, depending on your definition of the current Ham Radio operations scenario.

It is just that I run into NO CELL SERVICE quite a bit where I spend my OFF time…..

Rick

What do you mean by that?   Sprint and iPhone(ATT) are both cell based.

BTW travel to East Texas and in some large patches there is no cell or even AM broadcast.

That's a sad commentary on the state of Amateur Radio to me, because you're SOL if you don't have cellular coverage.

    Gerry,

    For the price of a screwdriver antenna and installation cost, you
    can remote your 7100 with your home QTH. You can run power and use
    your beam antenna.

    The remote head stays in your car and the main box stays at home.
    I do this with my TS-480 and RemoteRig equipment. Most people I
    talk with don't know I am operating Mobile Remote (MR).

        I am looking for some information. I would like to put a
        HF/VHF radio in my truck. I am looking at the Icom  IC-7100. I
        would like information on other brands and a basic review on
        that model as well as the IC-7100.
