Things new hams should know

Being inexperienced, I went the budget route with GMRS. And while the Beofengs aren’t bad.. I figured for ham I should go for higher quality. So, I’ve got a Yaesu VX-6R. Every review and everything I’ve read about these radios speak well of them. I’m sure some of y’all if not most all of yall already know this.

The VX-6R is the radio to have in case of the apocalypse. Immersion proof, metal chassis, and reliable. I like it. It’s not cheap and it isn’t loaded with features like APRS or digital audio, but it receives across a very wide range.
