    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.
