2M/70cm and also 220MHz (1W only)

Youc an plug your iPod/everything on one "side" and it will mute when someone speaks on the other channel, that's marvellous.

$600 USD.. it's brand new but in the same price range as the Icom or others, it has APRS which is why it's expensive.

Nice radio eh?! Been keeping my eye on it for sometime now.

So, who wants to buy a quad band FT8900R?.....

[BeachBoy]

some are experience hang-ups when using aprs, I'm waiting for this to be resolved but everything I read on it is great (except for the suction cup).

I don't know if it has the 220MHz in Canada (it says US only but maybe it includes Canada)

Etienne - Any closer to joining us on VHF? The Calgary Import 4x4 club are going to be on VHF for the Moab trip this May and I think they'll be farting around with APRS. Sounds pretty cool.

Maybe Mookie will pipe up and give us the goods!

Hit that exam generator!!

[BeachBoy]

I actually did exam generator yesterday and got 58

there are a few sections that I really need to study, the antenna and the block diagrams parts mostly

[Hounddog]

Yeah, I had to put a little extra effort into those area's as well.

Have you been able to hit the generator a few times in a row?
