    Certainly! Hopefully I'll see you on the air! From what I understand the Tech license doesn't give you a whole lot of room to move around in the HF bands, right?

      Yeah, it's not very open, you'll wanna grab your General or go straight to Extra if you wanna have fun in HF.

        That's sound advice. Think a radio like this would be better? Given that it's VHF and UHF?

          That looks like a nice radio, according to some of the reviews I came across. If you're not already using it, I would suggest grabbing programming cables for your radios, and CHIRP. Because programming these things by hand requires a doctorate in VCR programming.

            Heh, yeah I learned that first hand when I tried to listen in on a repeater. Cable is in the mail. Can't wait to try it out and listen in.
