Looking to get into the HAM world. I am in need of a new single din stereo head unit and will need to have it installed in my 80 series as I don't do electronics. I want to have a HAM installed at the same time in a stacked position if that's possible. I have a few weeks to study for the license and want to get that out of the way. My goals:
1. A reliable and EASY unit...not a lot of ancillary functions for serious radio guys.
2. Reliable...did I already say that?
3. Will be used for trails and emergency communication.
4. Would like to stay under $200 for the radio alone
My initial research led me to the Kenwood TM 281A. I do not know anything about these units. I prefer to stay away from Chinesium, but understand that might not be possible these days. I need a good radio, antenna, and whatever else you guys think will make a good system for the American outback...TIA
