Ya, I think I have a good deal coming my way on a TM-3530A, not a great
deal, but I've looked and can't find a better price so I'll probably get it.
I don't think I'll use the band much but there are people in this area that
do use it now and then and even the emergency management agency I'm with has
220 though no one has a radio to use with it except me so if we have an
emergency I guess some one will have to borrow my TH-F6A or my friend's, but
between them, and a couple friends in the area that use 220 now and then I
figured I'd put something up. Nothing fancy and as cheap as possible but the
HT really doesn't do it form here and when I go on vacation each August I
use 220 on cape cod and scare up a couple people so if I do it right I
should be able to hid that repeater from here easy.
