novakor,
Thank You! And I can't wait to get started..
I want to install a base operations and would like to be able to use repeaters, DXing and digital. Like you said, I want to be able to upgrade as I get more comfortable in Ham radio.
Someone said an ICOM IC-746 or IC746 Pro would be a good one to purchase and would cover 160m to 2m CW,SSB,FM,AM. I would like to budget about $2000.00 for everything. My biggest concern is the antenna. I have my old TV tower or a chimney to hook it to. I'm so green when it comes to this equipment and it is a bit overwelming! Trapshooting is easier to understand! LOL
Thanks for the websites and any more info would be great.
Chuck
