Which Wouxun to get, Band questions.

I am looking at the Wouxun HTs and since both have 2M, the question comes down to, do I want 70cm or 1.25M as the second band? And is Powerwerx the best place to get them?

Thanks

What is more popular in your area? Check for the quanity of repeaters for 70cm and 1.25M.
I have both Wouxuns the 2M/70cm and the 2M/1.25M. One I purchased from China for $104USD delivered in about 2weeks, the 2nd from Powerwerx for about $150.00 delivered in 2 days. The Powerwerx is the later model 3, but the differance is physical only, both work equally well. I highly recommend them.

I bet 440mhz is more active in your area. But I really like the 220 Mhz characteristics and wish people would promote/use it more. Maybe if you get the 220 one you can some other locals to get them and start up some 220 in your area if it's not very active. Check the prices at wouxun.us also.
 
440 is more popular in my area. I wouldn't have much luck getting others to go 220, so I am thinking i should go 440. Would I lose much?
 
2m/70cm version.

The fact that you can TX on FRS/GMRS frequencies in an emergency is invaluable, as they would likely be the major source of emergency traffic during a disaster.

FRS/GMRS, Hmmmmm i'll have to take that into consideration.


Moleculo,
Thanks for the e-bay spots
