what model of kenwood or yaesu or icom mobile transceiver can you make get 11 meters? the vehicle im putting it in is a full on expedition grade offroad vehicle not a honky tonk semi truck. This lester dude would not communicate with me hardly at all had to bitch to paypal to get an answer even out of him till he made the radio a color i didnt want said clearly on the invoice. So when he said he would change it around i declined if its red its red at this point that would set it back another couple of months to change that, so when this 500$ radio that has a red display and this funky blue christmas looking shit face plate comes finally (he says next week) its either going in a box in my closet or will be for sale, im going a different route i dont want a truck stop cracker box for communications in a vehicle i take out as far as i do and have with this oneAdd echo, a built in bird dog, and a coffee maker and you have a truckers dream cb

Or a kenwood ts480. The 100 watt model has a built in Tuner, the 200 watt model no tuner. And they do well on AM so I have heard anyway.
damn on that icom 7000 if you ccouldnt fumble for that channel knob while you were driving you better give it up lol
i should have just bought one of these to start with ive spent more for way less LATELY or just a sat phone and been done with it lol
if someone can educate me on how to post videos on here ill do an unboxing of the lescomm custom 959 and we will go in the offroad vehicle its going in drive thru a creek with big boulders the whole 9 (make the video more cinematic) to a wide open high area then test it for real not on a bench then ill bring out the beast in the black box and see how the lescomm double knot spy radio really stacks up vcx
Wheelman918, I was in the same boat, wasn't going to spend 500+ for an export radio. I ended up snagging a kenwood ts-140 for 300 it's an hf radio, Does about 120 pep on SSB, and also got an icom 746, paid a bit more for that but not much more than what the export would have been and the icom 746 had the stability crystal added, Granted mine were for base station use, but a used kenwood ts50 you can find for 4-500 or cheaper at times. The ts480 is a nice radio though and I will probably end up with one eventually, I'm done for a minute at least lol. I have also had good luck with the optima mk3 in my mobile. Paid 265 for it and also bought an icom hm36 mic at the same time. It works well for what it is! But anyway, I learned after buying several export rsdios and just not being happy. Pay now or pay later lol! Check eBay out for a used ts480 or even a ts50, don't let anyone do any tuning to them, they don't need that crap, the ts480's are unlocked on the transmit out of the box I believe, and the ts50 is a resistor or diode removal. I will say that most of the hf radios I mentioned are not Big AM talkers per say, but on SSB the hf radios shine and shine they do!! The kenwood ts480 is supposed to be pretty good on AM as well as SSB. I know it's a bit more money but I promise you won't be disappointed! JMO. God bless.
isnt that the dumb ones who pay the government for a lic when you dont have to? lol just sayin
