[QUOTE="MyMonkey, post: 2130651, member: 3945"] I wanted to make that one but alas we are going to the car show. Should be fun. Claremore was a bit of a stretch for me anyway. There is one out west next month I believe. Weatherford if im not mistaken. Update time. As referenced above this morning the CB thing is fun but should not be relied on for emergency coms. If one were to setup a nice rig with great antenna as the link above shows the CB can be a fun toy though. Crazy stuff on those bands! Now on to the meaty bits! Introducing the MyMonkey holy grail of radios (For the moment anyway) The Yaesu FT 857D [url]http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/1857.html[/url] I figure this thing will suffice as a base unit and can be taken along for mobile as well! The 817 is smaller and lighter but it does not meet the needs of the base unit that I need. So, until I can afford one of the big units such as this: [url]http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/0355.html[/url] I am thinking the 857D will suffice. :) Love to see all the posts above btw. Exciting hobby this is. [/QUOTE]
