The recent post was for a sale of HP power supplies.
?
Unfortunately, the post was added to a 3 year old thread regarding the sale of some "starter" radios.
?
Ron:? I think your post offering the HP power supplies should have its own subject line.? More members would likely read it

I agree with you, Doug.? My mind set is do more with less.
I was in California club that was first in ARRL classification 8A and we won that class 18 years in a row.? All radios were 5W limit.? We were all on battery/solar.
Most of us were on CW but VHF was SSB.
I am surprised to see the exploding SOTA/POTA enjoyment and most operators run 5W. In another CA club no one did field day with CW and everyone ran 100 watts.? I was an exception with my mag loop antenna running 5W Cw.
I worked CW to ham on Queen Mary and had a number of contacts no one else had.
Again, your reccomendation is correct.? My home here in AZ has antenna restrictions and I am working on low profile antenna.

I do not recall texting about starter radios.

In my mind a starter radio for FM is 2 meters.
A starter radio for HF would be a 5 W rig.
It might not have all HF bands.
Generally starter radios are low cost.

Re: [QCECG] GMRS / Ham Call Sign Look Up Tool
GMRS is not renewable (unless you want to pay some insane price to keep the same call sign).? You will have to apply from scratch.

Re: [QCECG] GMRS / Ham Call Sign Look Up Tool
I tried to update my address and FCC site was down.? I will try again.? My GMRS is over ten years old and perhaps expired so not showing up.
Nice tool!
