Re: Another Good Article

Re: Another Good Article
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý> What do you
think?
?
Very concise ¨C the author says a lot in
relatively few words, and offers what I consider to be good advice: unless you
have specific reasons to explore the edges, look for the ¡°sweet spot¡± ¨C not the
cheapest nor the most expensive.
?
I have a Baofeng BF-F8HP that I
purchased to keep in a survival kit / go bag that lives under the back seat of
my pickup truck. It exhibits a significant (I was about to say ¡°horrendous¡±)
third-order harmonic when transmitting on two meters ¨C which places the harmonic
in the 70cm band.
?
These radios are affordable, and
therefore accessible, providing an amazing feature set for the price point. Many
people have been attracted to amateur radio specifically because of the
availability of radios like the Baofeng.
?
The author appropriately points out
that Kenwood and Icom have ceded the under-$100 market to Yaesu (and the Chinese
radios), but the Yaesu offerings provide excellent performance for only a few
dollars more than my Baofeng.
?
I will admit that when I decided to
purchase a ¡°real¡± HT, I went for an FT3D ¨C partly because I had been using a
Yaesu C4FM mobile radio that I won in a raffle the week after I got my license,
and partly because I am a tech guy who takes delight in all of the engineering
shoehorned into the FT3D (I¡¯m still learning...).
?
Thanks for the
link to the article, Joe ¨C much appreciated.
