Alright so I dropped the price quite a bit. I will ship it but shipping looks like it will be about $100 so I will ship it for $699 to the US.

Well apparently my wife thinks two ARB fridges is over kill :) Sooooooo, I have a new in the box ARB 47L fridge. It is New in the box and has not been opened. I am asking $625 picked up in the Eagle River/Anchorage area.

Hey guys I just upgrades my “desk top” HF so I am selling my Icom 7200. It is in excellent shape and comes with the optional carry handles. It would make a great field base station radio with a simple end fed or buddy pole. I have the box and all paperwork as well. $675 Shipped in the US...

Well I was able to pass the extra last night and it reminded me about this post so I figured I would update this. I have been running this for about a month now with excellent results. I get excellent reports and my received signals are always very strong. I was worried with the placement of...

Well I finally got everything installed so I guess I better update the thread :) I was not able to mount an antenna on the roof due to having to park in a garage everyday. I was kinda stumped on where to mount the antenna especially because Toyota says to keep them as far away from the trucks...

The 703 is about the same weight as the 817 but has way more features. Runs on batteries no problem and it still draws pretty low current. It has a better receiver, larger faceplate with more display options, built in antenna tuner and is 10 watts. It can be run from 9.6V to 16V (I think). I...

Thanks Tom, I am actually looking at the FX4A for backpacking with a LNR Trail Friendly antenna. Still have a bunch of research to do though. I do like the 817 as well. If I could get my hands on a IC-703 I would grab it and be done but those seem hard to come by.

Thanks!! I am still looking at HF rigs but leaning toward the FT-857 and buddy pole set up. I am not going to be sitting at home searching for QSO's (not that there is any thing wrong with that) but I just don't have the time. I would love to take it out camping or hiking and make contacts...

Well passed the General no problem. I guess I am going to have to start looking at HF gear now. Well and studying for the extra :) Still waiting for a couple things to start my install on the Tacoma. Hopefully next week.

It has been the exact opposite in MT. Sunny and in the 50's. Weird but great weather for us. I ordered the 2730 today along with a Comet SBB-5. Should be there by the time I get back. I will check back in once it is up and running. Testing for my general next week as well. Should be an...

Well guys I haven't made a definative choice yet. Mostly because I have been hanging out in Maui for a bit :) That said I am pretty sure I will be going with the Icom 2730a. It fits my needs and has all my wants. I will update though when I order and get it installed.

Thanks wire nut the time out on the cross band kicks out the kenwood. I was unaware of that. AlbanyTom- Lots of good info there thank you. I was under the impression the mic was also not backlit and that a concern. I am by far no expert ham (by a long ways :) ) but I do use with VHF/UHF radios...

The 710 is out of my budget right now but I really like the concept of being able to upgrade to the 710 head later.

So after a lot of thinking the 8800 is out. I love the reliability and you can hardly find even a slightly bad review but no back lit buttons would a problem for me. I drive in the dark a lot. So now I have added another radio Kenwood TV-V71A to the list. Any opinions on it VS the 2730?

Thanks for the info guys. I didn't consider durability and ease of you while on the trail. Now I am pretty stuck between the 8800 and the 2730.

Thanks guys. Right now HRO has some great rebates on Yaesu. I am thinking of maybe going with a bit more radio then I need because of the rebates. It may save me from a short term upgrade again :) Does anyone have any thoughts on the Yaesu FTM-400DR? I like the digital modes and APRS...

I will start off by saying I am very new to HAM so please feel free to make other suggestions as well. I am looking at adding a new dual band 2m/70cm to my truck. I have narrowed it down to the Icom 2730A, Yaesu 7900R and the Yaesu 8800R. I am leaning towards the Icom because I use Icom at work...

Sold!!

Sorry $225 shipped is as low as she wants to go. It is a great tough camera. We had a friend take one up Denali. She shoots a pair of D800's as well.
