dItto! I don't want a radio that I can't program without an
interface with a PC. NOw if I could just get the xyl to explore that
Icom t2a handy she won at a hamfest. I asked about it on this list,
one fellwo told me he programs his with a computer.
I have however considered MOtorolla commercial gear for vhf and uhf
that I could have the shop program for the 2 meter and 70 cm
frequencies used in this area. That would allow me to leave my good
field programmable ham talkies for trips to other places etc.
Btw anybody know if there's speech for the tm-261a Kenwood 2m mobile?
