starter radios

Ron Watkins All Messages By This Member #478 My wife and I have 2 of these, they work great, however due to covid we are not really utilizing them. I would be interested in selling them if anyone is interested.

These Chinese radios make great entry level radios. They do just about everything a beginner needs. Here:? or here: or here: I'd recommend a spare battery (with larger capacity) and a speaker/mic. If you're looking for a more traditional first time radio, then the Yaesu FT-60R, FT-65R or FT-4XR could be good choices. FT-60R: FT-65R: FT-4XR: However, there is no better value than the Baofeng. For $25-$40, you could be on the air with a dual band handheld. Let me know when your group is ready to take the exam.

Ron Lampe All Messages By This Member #1535 Ron Wilkins has rack mount power supplies to give away. I do not recall texting about starter radios. Any transceiver could be your 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. My opinion of a starter radio. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Nov 25, 2024, 5:53 PM Joe Sammartino via <jsammartino=[email protected]> wrote: Hello Ron, Does that mean they are not functioning or somewhat functional?

Doug Pelley WB7TUJ All Messages By This Member #1537 开云体育 A starter radio is a “simple to use – basic” radio. Often used as to be more affordable. ? An old Icom 735 or 706 would be a perfect example of a starter HF radio.? Or for something new, a Yaesu FT-891 is also fairly basic. ? And a Yaesu FT-8800 would be great starter VHF / UHF starter, as it’s very basic. ? Ideally you want to start with something that has some power (100 watts for HF & 25 – 50 watts for VHF / UHF), unless there is a knowledge and desire to wok QRP. I personally would not recommend QRP as a starter, as it takes more advanced skill to use it and the user could become very frustrated by not making contacts due to the power difference between him & the 100 watt to 1500 watt station he’s trying to talk to. ?

Ron Lampe All Messages By This Member #1538 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.

Joe Sammartino All Messages By This Member #1540 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 ? Regards, ? Joe, N2QOJ - Group Owner
