Yep, my HAM worked off the repeaters etc but no GMRS COMMS at all during the last hurricane. Just got power back and internet.

Use this link below and you will see approximately how high you need to go. https://www.scadacore.com/tools/rf-path/rf-line-of-sight/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0gnRiFjsBv4M2__jg5766iEiA94EyIbmRIZ_QSPW9NzAH4ygLxUiPyuus_aem_ASNjvABhfnVxYv74ClEhWMR4ooJmlUMWyGCkFWzyOtxtOe0jBqpbJTO0XUdU-bIQFHhiDTbDRFSgvJ6S8p2t_Ve7

Interesting but $$$.

The word “HAM” as applied to 1908 was the station CALL of the first amateur wireless station operated by some amateurs of the Harvard Radio Club. They were Albert S. Hyman, Bob Almy, and Poogie Murray. At first they called their station “HYMAN-ALMY-MURRAY”.

I'm 1 point away and it's the last one. lol

I'm pretty fit for a older man and not in a HOA thank goodness. Appreciate the information and my General test is coming up soon but I can still listen etc. Thanks again,

This is one w/out the kit. All three look promising. https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=71-002065

I also found this (link below). $$$$ but might be worth it. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-hf7300-basic#overview

In regards to a antenna & power supply, I see the recommendations on the web site under the radio description but sometimes those are not real good recommendations. Any thoughts? Thank you, JB

Nice writeup for HAMS, good information, I was thinking of buying one but now,,,,,,,,,.

I need to put a cactus on my land but they don't grow in Florida.

Thank you, w/the War there, we will see how it goes, if it's possible and I'll still explore the other options for now but that piece of equipment look pretty sweet!

Thank you, I'll check into the banking and I'll watch the video.

Thank you,

At first I looked up just the word BELKA and found this: What is Belka? "Belka" means "Squirrel" in Russian. It is also the name of one of the first two dogs to return safely from a space flight. -Appreciate the informatio, I'll look into it I'm old school and not really wanting to do anything radio on the internet but this may work since it can do both.

Just some guidance, and obviously if I could save more $, that would be great, but the quote listed above is the top range. Appreciate it,

Budget? (up to $1,200.00-$1,500.00) Do you only want a newly manufactured radio? (Would rather purchase new but if a deal came along and I knew the person)(sad to do business with people in today's world). Do you want sideband? (be able to tune HF hams, military, and utility) Yes mostly Hams (would get honest reporting I would think) but not really concerned about Utility. Military is a added plus (forgot to add it on my OPost). Do you need it to be a tabletop or is a portable form factor ok? Either or but I do think table top might be best. Thank you very much,

Yes SSB included (forgot that) and I can't find a EE750, all out of stock the places I've searched. Can't wait for the Queens review and hopefully it will be posted here on this thread. Thanks,

Although I know some are hard to come by, what are your top six (6) SWRadio's (looking to buy new)? I had some as a kid and throughout the years, they all have finally failed. Thanks, WSCH851

GM5RH Chirp worked for me.

Ya but we (HAMS/GMRS) are more of a respectful type people I would imagine, plus we are to busy on the radio to look at our phones to search etc. If your that concerned, go OffRoaderX's YouTube channel and get a HamRegistry Discount.
