Life with only a 2 meter/70 cm/5 meter radio is getting a little tiresome. I'm looking to upgrade my equipment and get a proper station on the air. I have about $1500.00-$2000 max, and the less I spend the better. <br>
<br>Here's what I'd like:<br><br>If I'm going to go with a vehicle setup I'd like to have, at the very least, a dual band 2m/70cm radio capable of cross-band repeating. NOAA weather would be nice as well.<br>
<br>OR<br><br>If I'm going with a home station I'd like a 2m/70cm cross-band repeating setup. I am able to install an antenna on the house but nothing "spectacular"- the neighbors might get bitchy if I try to put up a massive tower in the back yard.<br>
<br>OR <br><br>Two radios at home, one for 2m one for 70cm (but this sounds repetitive). And with this setup I can't cross-band repeat so... well, it's just not idea. I like to be mobile while I'm on the radio. But at the right price I could go that route.<br>
<br>BEST<br><br>Some kind of software radio interface with a hardware back-end. It has to work with OS X and from my searches on the Internet such a beast does not appear to exist. For shame. If it did I could potentially connect via software over the Internet to my home station. That would be pretty cool when traveling.<br>
<br>Anyway, like I said, just looking for ideas.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Greg<br><br><br>
