how much is the 440 band used
I just passed my tech ham test for Cruise Moab and the next step is to buy a radio. I'm not looking to spend a ton as I'm only really into Ham stuff to open up my range for communication while out wheelin.
SOOOOO the question is do i really need a "dual band" radio. A friend told me that the 440 band is rarely used these days and just to save my money and just buy a radio with 2m. This sounds like a pretty good idea to me. The only thing "extra" that seems interesting is being able to use the radio as a repeater for club events. What do you guys think?
