Locked Digital Repeaters - and the radios that love them.

 

The Frugal Ham here.
Yaesu seems to be leading the charge in digital FM radio these days and they are making it possible for cheapskates like me to participate.
Almost a year ago I bought a Yaesu FTM-200 mobile and paid a little under $400. Liked it so much I bought another for $380 new.
It's the low end unit that does it all. Digital audio, APRS and Winlink.
Now I see they are selling for $300 bucks.
Ouch!?

Ft 70s seem to be a favorite portable for fusion.

I second the FT-70! Robust little radio and it allows for front panel programming as well as assigning alpha tags for channel names.
