    Smooth move, Ex-lax!

    You can't be seen at a hamfest without one.

    All you need now is a yellow glow vest, and a hamvention ball cap.

    $115. Came with a BC-35 drop in charger and an alkaline battery holder.

    Should have checked the repeater directory for 1.2 ghz machines...

    Janet. One simple question.
    Do you want to put up a super antenna for 1.2?
    It would be small enough. Main investment would be in coax.
    It would be an interesting monitoring experiment in the propagation and conditions involved.
    Me personally, I wouldn't do it unless I wanted to build a repeater for it and lived somewhere where I had a nice tower.
