I'm sure this has all been said before, so maybe I just need a referral to some recent information, but I'm interested in opinions about the latest and greatest 2 meter radios that are "preferred". Could be mobile or base! Thanks for any feedback.
I dunno about the "latest and greatest", but I've had some Icoms, a 2200H a couple 2100H's, a 2000 and two V8000;s. All worked fine. The Yeasu's I've had were/are dual banders and were just as good.
I'll second the recommendation for the 2200h.. Run one mobile and it has been through hell and still works as good as the day I took it out of the box.
I also own a V8000 and it's a solid radio.
In my truck I'm running an older HTX-242 Radio Shack... it's farily plain jane with no alpha tags for memories, only 40 memories, etc, but I've owned this rig for over 10 years with no problems.
If you want a single band, 2 meter radio, they all work about the same, although both the Yaesu FT-2900R and Icom IC-V8000 do output 75 watts! If you want a dual band, there are a lot more other features available.
I appreciate all the feedback you have provided on these different 2 meter radios. I think a 2 meter only is the ticket for now. Thanks for taking the time to post your opinions. I certainly value your inputs.
Is it possible to be on a lake and have a homing directional beam being emitted from the shore so a person could navigate to that beam's source? For example at night to a jetty.
