Hey Guys! First post. I'm trying to get a radio for my jeep that will work on all common bands. Some guys have CB, some have VHF, and some have little frs/gmrs radios. I'm sure some will have HF in the future, but none of my friends have it now. I understand there are some legal issues, and prefer not to get into that. I'm wondering what radios will do what i want. I plan on getting certification for HF and maybe some of you can help me determine what level of cert i will need. I've been told that the FT-857D will do what i want. I'm also looking for antenna recommendations that will work decent on the different bands. I don't need max performance as most people will be within about 20 miles 99% of the time. The mountains and valleys are the killers of the little gmrs radios i have now. Having a break out box design is a huge plus so i can take the face off. I'll probably weld in a bar to secure the radio guts because the jeep is a soft top and is topless most of the time. If anybody can recommend any other radios that may work that would be great. Thanks!:w00t:
