Hi all, I am a new member on this list and have a question about VHF
equipment. My name is Eric Patterson and my call is kb7vfr. I have been an
amateur radio operator since 1993.
Currently, I have an old FT-470 portable radio, whose battery does not
maintain a charge anymore. I am looking at getting a new VHF/UHF radio.
Here are the options I am considering:
1. getting a portable such as the Icom IC-t90 or Kenwood TH-f6a.
2. getting a mobile unit like the Kenwood Tm-g707. The advantage to going
this route is that it might allow me to install a voice synthesizer for
checking the frequency. However, because I have no useable vision, I would
have trouble hooking up the power supply. Please send recommendations on
accessible mobile or portable VHF radios and instructions for hooking up
power supplies. Thanks in advance.
Eric Patterson
