  1. I lucked out and snagged a couple for a great price, Had it not been for the frequency spread I'd not have bought them, and I'd have regretted it. they're a fantastic rig.
  2. I`m a Kenwood fan. Mobile wise, I started with the tk-863, its a good base choice for a mobile radio on the cheap but doesn't have the OST option. I still have two of them put up for potential future use. Depending on how you program it it's quite versatile. but I moved over to the tk-8180 k2 (the K2, 400-470mhz) and it's fantastic. its extremely versatile. OST, massive channel capacity (so far I have 7 states worth of specific repeaters programmed in and labeled by location and I`ve barely made a dent in its capacity), with a DTMF mic I have all my controls at my fingertips... all the standard pl tones in one selectable list (40 available)for oddball situations. hi/low power, wide and narrow band capability, and with the band limits, I can monitor 70CM and local business if I choose. And the software/cables are EASY to get/ Bluemax49er on Ebay sells the good/right stuff for 30 ish bucks, and I'll verify that the software for both listed radios runs on win 11. there is a learning cure, but there always is. mine are 30 watt, but if you get the HK versions you get 45 watts. but I tend to nerd out and it's a lot of fluff (in a good way). Anyhoo, just my 2 cents. best of luck to you! pic below 863 left 8180 right
  3. Keep in mind also that foliage absorbs UHF, so height, especially above forest cover is good.
