Thanks to all who have posted so far. The list represents approx half of the Mudders that are licensed, so let’s hear from the rest of you!
As to my set up, I run a Yaesu FT-100D into a Diamond HV7A 4-band vertical mounted on the upper hatch.
To give some idea of what is possible, especially to the non-hams reading along, this radio can transmit on all 12 ham bands between 160m and 70cm (excluding 220 mHz) using AM, FM, SSB, CW, or digital, and has a broadband receiver than can hear anything between 100 kHz to 950 mHz (except cellular, blocked by Federal mandate).
That means AM/FM broadcast bands, CB, FRS, GMRS, MURS, aircraft, marine, weather, all emergency service bands, etc. It also has 350 memories, is a full-function scanner, and can scan any selected block of memories... while simultaneously listening to, say, the trail run frequency, repeater, or whatever you select.
Overkill? Sure. But it does illustrate what is possible with a single, small radio and a single (or perhaps two) antennas. Unfortunately, this particular radio is now out of production... but there are others out there.
Cheers, R - K6RG
I don't think it's overkill...It would be nice to have one radio rig that does all that. What is Yeasu's replacement for your rig??
I just picked up a FT-857 the other day, after playing with all the other HF mobile/portible radios out there... I'm planning on using it at home and base camp but if you only wonted one radio I think this one should make your short list.
I think the FT-857 would be it.
Passed my General license test today! No new call sign yet, but I did ask the FCC to give me a new one...
