Well at least I can hold a cold drink against my wallet on Friday after todays purchases.

 

Nice. Any one specific?

 

I have no clue either. I just pressed the link you sent. I went and changed my settings to US only.
I don't even want to know what a tri-band is.

 

Baofeng UV-5X3 and a Nagoya 17" Tri-band antenna.

Hahs

 

It has the same frequencies the one you bought in it (Dual band) and adds in a third set at 222-227.99mhz (1.25M band).

 

Nice. I heard the 1.25 band is going to be getting big soon. Around here I think they're dedicating it to digital repeaters to keep them separate

 

Can't say I've ever seen a full HP movie start to finish.

If I like this, I may look into one for my next one.

 

I have a friend I went to high school with here that is big into HAM and runs a net. We've kinda lost contact over the last couple of years and this may be a good way to get back in contact again. He's been into it for years and was in signal corp in the Army too so he knows a lot more than me about this stuff.

I'm guessing all the Baofeng radios are probably analog then, right?

 

Like I'll have any clue about what to tell you about it. lmao

Look Phillip! It goes to 222mhz. Don't know wth I do from here. Haha

 

They do now. They ave a digital one out that can finally be programmed to use digital repeaters. Before it could only do simplex person to person digital.

 

I'm just gonna start with the basic and work up

 

The biggest thing about picking any radio is making sure people in your area use those bands a lot.


Otherwise you're just taking to yourself.
And people will think you're crazy.

 

So with Murph getting the tri-band, will I still be able to shoot the shit with him? I believe 2 others from around here got/have the same radio Murph made me buy tonight

 

In that case I'm going to need Phillip to upgrade now to this radio so I know I have someone to talk to.


I know they use the other bands. In fact my friend is the one who maintains the local repeater.

 

We still have the same frequencies I just have an extra one with no one to talk to on that set of frequencies.

 

You can aspire to be like me with my extra set.

 

If I really like this radio stuff, I'll upgrade. I would like one mounted in the truck for the whole "Expo" look

 

The ole 3 band wonder

 

I'd suggest a good dual rx tx.

That way you can monitor local stuff and still have convo with buddies
