[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3985577, member: 24583"] I am presuming you just got your Technician license and I am presuming you are looking for a 50w on 2m and usually 25w or so on 70cm mobile radio most people use on their desktop with a $25 30A power supply. You most likely can find a good used dual band 2m/70cm radio maby here or check to see if there are any ham clubs in your area to see what someone might have for sale. Not likely to have 6m also, very very few non HF rigs do and 6m is not a band that is open a lot consistently. I would suggest selling your trade items for $ then you will have more bargaining power to purchase from someone who might not need what you have to trade. Couple ways to go there depending on if you are planning on upgrading your license to General or Extra anytime soon. 1. You can try to find a 2m/70cm dual band for now $150-225 range and then purchase an HF radio later Or 2. There are some very good older radios out there that will do 2m/.70cm/6m and HF bands which will be more expensive now, but will cover your needs long term. Something like a Yaesu FT100D (not the newer digital version) that will do all of this except for the 220 band and can be found in the $4-500 range that is 50w 2m, 25w 70cm and 100w HF. As stated earlier for either one you will need a $25 30A power supply, coax, and dual band antenna for any radio you purchase for 2m/70cm and later add a tuner, coax and an HF antenna later. Would be a drive for you, but Green Country Hamfest will be April 7-8 this year in Claremore, OK just outside Tulsa. It is the biggest one in this area with lots of nifty prizes. Good luck to you finding your first radio. It is not usually our last. [/QUOTE]
