WT: simple VHF radio

[i_galbreath]

I am looking for a very basic VHF radio to use for 151.625, no tone. It must be 5 watt, but other than that options and features do not matter. I am on a tight budget, looking for somethng well under $100.

eBay has some very basic VHF radios listed. I just purchased a FD 150A radio which is about as bare-bones as you can get. The radio was only $23.00, but shipping was $33.00. It should be here any day now.

Here's a link to the listing...

Hope this helps.

Ok I will give it a try. I was just a little unsure because I always get mixed thoughts about when people buy stuff off it.

you can find some cheaper through the forum here possibly, the radios of ebay are creating a stir becasue they arent exactly accepted through customs
