Would like to get a Ham license at some point, but think it would be cool to be able to listen in occasionally (storms, etc.). A guy at work has several units his late father in law had, that he's selling. Any idea on what might make a good general RX and possible future TX unit out of what he has? I know one is a mobile 2 meter (I think), but would the others suffice for general disaster and just hobby listening before a guy gets his license? Here is what he has:
Kenwood TS440S
Kenwood TS680S
Kenwood TS530SP
IC 271H
IC2200H (mobile 2m, I believe).
Any suggestions? Thanks.
