I'm about to pull the trigger on this Wouxun deal: Wouxun KG-UVD1P Handheld Special Offer! $129.95 Shipped w Software & Programming Cable | MTC I spoke with the guy briefly & he mentioned that they arent selling these as "regular hams", but they are "cracked" to be commercial? (He didnt use...

Ok so now you're suggesting to go with just a single band of 2m? Is that the most popular with the most info during emergencies/SHTF? And easiest for a few of us to communicate and group together? You don't think we should have at least a dual band with 2m & 440? Why not? I am looking for...

Because I need more than a mile of communication which is all FRS seems to give. Clearly I can do 30-75 miles with an HT & good repeaters. I have ZERO interest in HAMs as a hobby. I have iPads, iPhones, a highly advanced computer, saltwater reef tanks, guns & edged weapons as my hobbies...

I looked up that name and nothing was coming up? What model # Wouxun is waterproof? I was looking at the KG-UVD1P, I like the display screen and full keypad features.

I stopped out at our local HAM supply store today & handle a few things. I really do like the Yaesu's the best & seem like they are the built the best. But I'm not going to be any kind of serious HAM like most of you are. So I dont think spending $300-$400 on an HT makes sense for us...

Hmm interesting. I need to do a bit more research. So you're saying the 6m & 222 are good for about 3 miles unless we have repeater stations in the area that will bounce those particular frequency signals? Also I see the VX-8DR with pictures of green screens & orange/red screens. Are...

Ok, so what is the 8DR then, 5W, quad band & what is the receive? I think you make a lot of sense with your points, I am probably going to go with the 8DR. I am planning on getting the extended battery regardless, so this will help with the GPS situation. Plus I like the fact I can...

Now others are suggesting that I get a free standing GPS if I want one as it will be much more beneficial & I should get a 3R, 6R or 7R radio instead of the 8r. Does anyone know the real differences between the 3,6 & 7R models? Thanks.

Here's my recent questions from ar15.com talk, anyone have answers to my bottom set of questions? Thanks. It says on the Yaesu website that the GR is "Water spray resistant - meets IPX5 - 3 feet for minimum of 30 minutes." So it seems it is just as submersible as the DR? Also, another thing...

Hello all, a NOOB to HAMs, but hoping to jump in & learn very quickly. Just an FYI, I am aware of getting your HAM license, but that is for another thread. I want to get an HT for emergencies/SHTF scenarios where I can be mobile on foot, yet still have a very effective, lightweight...
