Hi Linda,
the
Wouxun handheld radio is a very nice one to start with. Several folks on
the list have them and there are many sources for the manual in print. As
for a mobile type of radio, the Kenwood TMV71A is the best. As for your
question on band edge. The radio for 2m,70CM and 6M will only operate
within the band allotted. When you get to HF, that is different. It will
come with experience and a copy of the band plan is handy to have in your
shack. 73 and Happy New Year. Gary KB2YAA

Hi all,
I hope all of you have a happy and safe new year and I hope all of your
dreams and goals will be fulfilled.
I am studying the mp3 lectures presented by Pat tice, and wow, what a lot to
learn. LOL!
My first question is about type of accessible radio. My first ham radio will
be a hand-held radio as we have lots of repeaters here where I live-in fact
there is a repeater about five miles from here. Can someone describe one of
these type of radios?
Or, I could get a mobile one and put an indoor antenna here.
I am slowly getting the hang of this darn metric. LOL! In fact, it seems all
you have to do is move the decimals in places.
When you get ready to talk on a frequency, how do you know when you are
talking outside the band? I know you have to stay within the band.
For now, that is all my questions. I am working on four of the lectures
right now.
