Ok all you hammies and/or hammettes. I just bought an IC706MKIIG and will be getting Tech license in December. I know I can not use the HF portion of the bands, but radio has 440, 6meter, and 2meter which I will be entitled to use. My question is; what else will I need in the way of antennas, accessories and so on to properly use this rig? I live on the edge of a large metropolitan area (Seattle/Tacoma Wa.) which I am sure has its share of repeaters. Looks like most multi-band antennas run around $150, but do I really need one? I will be using it as a base. I have been a CB'er for many years, but know that HF, VHF and UHF are not plug and play. Just looking for some input from you guys that have been there and done that.
Thanks.
