    11 Meter Radios AM/SSB/FM

    I'd go Anytone 6666. Mine has worked most states from Seattle, with a 5/8 mag mount Sirio. It has also been far more rugged than most Chinese stuff I've made the mistake of buying.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    A dear uncle of mine used to say, "there is a time and place for everything and this calls for brute force." I'm not a fan of vigilante justice but in the radio world we really only have each other.

    WTB: Antenna Tuner

    I have an Icom 7200 and would like to find an antenna tuner. It doesn't have to be max power supportive but I'd like up to 500 watts? I'm not too familiar with antenna tuners, so if this is a stupid request, apologies!
