Finally getting into the ham game:

Now that's a nice rig Dave. What it run you?
Too bad it's not an ICOM though.....

hahaha thanks. I'll let you know how it's going. Tonight I played with it for a few hours while listening to the Colorado Connection repeater on Cheyenne Mountain. I made it about 20 pages into the manual. It is a complicated beast with some nice features. Now I need to learn to use them!

As for ICOM... I can't afford that kind of quality! I had to save up my extra pennies and empty brass for a few months to afford this one. I got it for $159 on Amazon with free shipping. Got a 12VDC charger for it too so I can keep it charged up while out on the road (or trail).

Tim @DangerLeeIndustries

Tim has been nothing but helpful. He's handled transfers for me, sold my trust a nice pistol lower to SBR, and I've had private deals with him in the past that have always been perfect.

Even while I haven't spent a bunch of money with him, he was more than willing doing the transfer on a deal I found that couldn't be matched.

I don't want to speak for him, but I expect as his business grows, he will be able to pass along additional savings on the products he's handling most.

Tim is GTG, i don't know if going out of his way is how he does business. However he made me a happy camper.

good stuff. Icom is ok too.

Is it software programmable? Should be? Get the software for it and a cable, worth it.

There's got to be something cheaper than this, right? http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/FT-60-pr...ble-s/1909.htm

Place a WTBorrow in the trading post or survival forum. Someone has on. That's a nice radio you decided to jump in to the ham radio with. Battery wise, if it last 1/2 as long as the cheap Baofeng i have, it will last a while.

rt systems are the folks who made the software for ICOM/yaesu anyways. I think there is another freebee type software out there, but not sure.
