Hi Wayne,
There is actually a list of approved radios for MARS/CAP use. It's been a 
while since I've read about it, but I do remember that the radio has to be 
stable to 5 parts per million of the tuned frequency. I know (because I have 
one and read up on it) that the IC703+ is such a radio, featuring a built in 
crystal oven for the unit's crystal oscillator. The list I mentioned will 
provide the foundational info you need, then you can investigate further to 
determine which radios will prove useable for you.

My apologies, at the end of this email, because I cannot point you to a 
current list of approved radios. My suggestion is to ask the contact you 
have into the closest MARS Base Support Team, or whomever you are talking to 
about joining and participating in MARS.

Hello all, my name is Wayne Genz. I live in NNew Jersey. I'm new to the list
and am a recent licensee. I have about 2 years background in electronics.I
served in the Navy for 5 years. I am looking for some equipment, I need it
tobe able to handle all of the wave lengths. This is because I am looking to
join the AF MARS operations. I was told I could learn a lot  from you guys.
Lookforward to talking to youall.
