Gus: I didn't dodge the Chinese rig because of the brand name, but the reviews, and convenient warranty and repair. I recently bought a Chinese digital scope because of its price, features and reviews. The rig is due via UPS today and all I need now is some help setting up the 2 m. repeater

Re: [BVARC] Need 2 Mtr. base station advice.

I have a feeling you'll like the KW, and congrats for doing the research. I probably would have done the same at a $50 price difference (I paid less than $150 for my almost new 5888UV - it was a "no-brainer"). I have to say, though, the Chinese manufacturers don't makeup those names. Radio

Gus: I checked it out and it's only about $50 cheaper than a TM-V71A from HRO when free shipping, tax and discounts are all folded in. Thanks for the information anyway. I did notice the name "Anytone". The Chinese mnftrs. do pick funny names, hi! 73s, Gary Sitton, K5AMH

Gigaparts will ship free over $100 I think. A copper J pole is easy and cheap to build for a base antenna. Scott KD5FBA Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Droid On May 31, 2017 9:36 PM, Michael Donoghue via BVARC wrote: > > Gary. You can get a brand new 75 watt Yaesu FT 2900r from
