    Antenna needs to be matched to freq you plan on using. Assuming 2M and 70cm this is really popular Larsen NMO2/70B. Its about 35".

    Any specific recommendations for a decent case?

    Something with options to strap/clip onto bino chest rigs, pack frames, etc would be good. I don't think anyone has Mole setup for hunting, mostly just a day/hydration packs.

    Looking around on Amz but just not sure.

    I'll need to pick up 3-6 so I can hand out radios to all the hunting partners that want to carry them. We're usually never more the FRS distance apart with a few of us up high.

    Bring the radio with you and check out some of the surplus stores. Something will fit it, and it'll be cheaper price than amz.

    I bought these on Amazon and really like them. Nice price/performance ratio.

    Edit to add: has the ban been enacted now? I can no longer buy these? (checking

    The link in the first post to the radios I bought on ebay is now tagged... "out of stock." Looks like the ban is in effect.

    Nope, they are still available...

    Search amazon or ebay for Baofeng, or for the model number UV-5R, and you'll see them, and still available cheap... Saw one auction for $19 each shipped, but that is shipping via slow-boat from china. A few bucks more gets you the same radio shipped from a supplier here in the us.

    We have 4 programmed for emergency use at our remote ranch. Acceptable performance. I am working on a ham license and plan to upgrade eventually.

    Can any of you guys point me in the direction of a place that offers training for the ham radio license around Colorado Springs, or within a reasonable driving distance? Like a weekend bootcamp or something similar?

    I've been studying the content at Hamtest off and on, but am having a hard time maintaining a schedule or doing it with any regularity. If there's just a place I can go and pay, say, $100 to get it all done in one fell swoop, that would be great.

    If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    Technician class test can be passed with a bit of self study for anyone with an electronics background. Pueblos West club has a weekly class for General license.
