Hello All,
I still don't have my ticket but I just traded lighting gear that was collecting dust for an Icom 737 in excellent condition. I am aware of its shortcomings but am open to specific pointers. It is in perfect shape, demoed and ready for use after: I get my ticket, I get a power supply, antenna, watt meter, dummy load and some other ditties. I saw what he had but am interested in other opinions. I know my power supply will not be a cheap china noisy box. Is a $100 MFJ 30 amp an okay choice? Is a Dosy TC-4001-P watt meter well regarded. Keep in mind I am entry level and I still have so much to learn. I know an antenna is based on room and location. With my future house located in Farmtown USA, I have space for a very long dipole (4.19 acres) or a reasonably priced tower mount being that my house has a 20 foot tower. Before yesterday I was just a mild daydreamer now I own a decent first radio with no money spent-yet.
Thanks
Dave
