Congratulations. Stick with a major brand. Yaesu. Kenwood. Icom Alinco eleckraft Buy used for a while and then gradually sell up.
There are great major radios available for 300$ Range. When you get your feet wet, then you’ll know what you like. Add in a Signalink for digital. Add in a mfj or other tuner. Antenna is the most important piece. Continually perfect them starting with dipoles. The fun begins. 😀 K5PGF Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 14, 2021, at 4:32 AM, D.
