I know mine were 12 cent, the only time I've read any 10 cent stories are in reprints To satisfy my curiosity, I just did a quick search and found: Both Marvel and DC made the move over the fall/winter 1961 period.

I started with those also, I'd have to look it up to see by how much I missed the 10 cent ones, I was born in 1960, I probably started reading comics in 1964 Remember the 25 cent 80 Page Giants from National [which is now DC]?

That explains why I could pick up VHF stations from Buffalo [2, 4, sometimes 7] & Syracuse [3, 5, never 9] when I lived in Rochester, NY, I couldn't get any UHF from Syracuse [24. 68] at all, & only once from Buffalo [29, never could get 17], & I think that was because of a band opening I probably would have needed a very tall tower to improve my reception chances There was a house just outside the city limits on the NW side that had vertically stacked TV antennas, I'm sorry that I never knocked on the door to ask what they were able to pick up

Unless I missed a Billy Ray Cyrus tune, it was Aaron Tippin That tune goes back a bit Anyway, nope, not even close to overdoing it

I just ordered an demo/open IC-F4021S from Ham Radio Outlet for $53.96, I'll buy the charger & AAA battery case for it But looking at this listing.....my Needing & Wanting are definitely at war Does anyone recognize the blue case model at the top? I've seen orange & red case Icom h-t's, but not a blue one Never mind: I think that I found it, I think that it's the IC-F3201DEX

Please don't say that, I'm really trying to resist temptation here https://www.mtcradio.com/u16809-as-is-massive-set-of-icom-handheld-transceivers-land-mobile-commercial/ $1,000.00 for the set, discounted to $888.00 when you place it in the cart I'd have to source batteries & chargers for them, but still.....

For what it's worth, when I read violations like this, I don't paint all hams with the same brush, I blame only the violator, I know that others may not feel the same way, but personally, I blame only the bad apple, not the entire tree Just my .02 73

This was my 1st CB radio, my parents bought me one for Christmas just before the CB boom hit Channel 1 was CB channel 14, I borrowed crystals for channel 10 for a weekend trip to Ontario, Canada so I could listen to the truckers [this was obviously before channel 19 became the nationwide road channel]

Two of my Alinco h-t's have 1000 channels & the other has 4000 channels I have the state that I live in & the states that I want to visit as zones, I have the open GMRS repeaters programmed in I check the db for additions & updates I don't know when I'll get to visit them, but my radios are ready

MTC in TX has the DJ-G46T on Black Friday pricing for $69.90 https://www.mtcradio.com/black-friday-alinco-dj-g46t-portable-5w-gmrs-ht/

Feature wise, it's not going to work for everyone If you need to program/reprogram it on the fly, no, it's not the best choice, BUT: If you need an h-t that can be set up [especially with basic/simple, or no functions/options], then handed to a non-radio user & not worry about them pressing buttons, changing settings, etc If you just want to program it, turn it on, select your channel/frequency/repeater, & start talking [Ron Popeil & his "set it & forget it!" comes to mind] For the users who need or want those scenarios, IMO the DJ-G46T fits the bill

Main Trading Company in TX https://www.mtcradio.com/used-gear/ I've had good luck with them Edit/add-on: you never know what a seller is going to have available, but I've purchased both used [IC-F2000T] & New In Box Old Stock [IC-F50, IC-F60, IC-F80DS] from MTC

SMH, I shouldn't read & respond to posts after a long day at work, I forgot that you said you have a Yaesu, DOH!

I'm using a Smiley 5/8 Slim Duck 155 MHz on an Icom IC-F50, & I've had good luck with it https://bettersaferadio.com/smiley-antenna-slim-duck-murs-mms-marine-noaa-155mhz-5-8-wave-sma-m/

The Diamond SRH77CA is a dual-band antenna cut for 2 meters & 70 CM amateur frequencies, plus the connector is SMA-M You'd be better off buying an antenna tuned to the GMRS frequencies which are a 462 MHz/467 MHz split For the Alinco, the antenna needs to be an SMA-F connection I would consider one from Smiley Antennas, centered at 465 MHz https://bettersaferadio.com/smiley-antenna-slim-line-whip-gmrs-465mhz-sma-f/ https://bettersaferadio.com/smiley-antenna-slim-duck-gmrs-465mhz-5-8-wave-sma-f/
