beginner radio.

I concur with Doc,,although he is a mud duck,,,,,,,I agree dont start that buy this 400 dollar radio and then as you get more into the hobby you sell the 400 dollar radio for 250-300 because you want to get more of the "goodies" Buy a radio that you can grow into NOW



Icom IC-706MKIIG about $750.00

Yaesu FT-857 or FT-897 about $600.00-$800.00



all 3 of the radios will make a tech happy as it has 6 meter 2 meter and 70cm coverage and as you progress to a general or extra class your set and can add on filters (SSB or CW) depending on your interest,,,those can be used mobile or base (with a power supply of course)



ORRRRRRRRRR



Icom 746 Pro $1300.00

Kenwood TS-2000 $1650.00



good radios to grow into
