So, have taken the first step to 'proper' comms and now have a foundation Amateur License and was wondering what kit to look at to stick in my 120? Space is at a premium due to all the electrickery stuff on board the console already, so was looking at a 'split' unit where I can mount the head remotely?
Also quite keen on a dual-band unit ....
So - there are a lot of Yaesu units out there, as well as Kenwoods and Icoms - some prices are OK (ish) and others are big enough to make even Santa's eyes water
What is a decent, reasonably rugged, device to go for, assuming this is likely to be a one-off purchase and will need to be pretty good for about 5 years? And what antenna should I mate it to for on-vehicle use??
Cheers
