Re: Mobile HAM/Amateur Radio Choices
Thanks, KD7NAC_07FJ and IRTSYSOP. I have looked at the 8900, and it does nicely fit with my general preference for 'buying ahead'...but I'm also in the process of trying to justify a couple other spendy items for the rig, so we'll see. Probably make a decision in a couple weeks.
About antennas - are antennas available (magmount or otherwise) that have the CB style sring loaded base? So that if I put it on the roof, it'd bend rather than break or come off if I went under a low hanging branch? Also, if I were to get the 8900 (quad band) or a dual band rig, how difficult is it to find an antenna that's going to perform reasonably well on all the bands supported by the radio?
