    Hey Binrat, did you get your Kenwood 281A yet and if so what are your thoughts? Moleculo, I think I will be going with the Kenwood TM-V71A because of the great ratings and also because I live in a condo with HEAVY restrictions on antennas and no place to hide one except in the attic.

    I been wanting to buy one but was wondering if I could use this with my ht (Baofeng uv-5r) for the cross band repeater and full duplex. Hey W5LZ how about a picture of the custom sunshade you made for it?

    So after talking to a friend, I have decide to go with either the Yeasu 8800R or the Kenwood TM-V71A. Reading reviews on EHAM that they are practically the same radio with just about the same functions as in full duplex and cross band repeater. I just have to decide which one.

    I ordered the UV-5R, Nagoya NA-771 and the Baofeng cable. What model MFJ do you have 2RT307 because he has 3 listed there? For meters I am looking at http://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-001267, http://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-001275
