Recently licensed (within past year).
Icom IC-U400 was first radio that I had that was capable and used to transmit into the ham bands (70cm). It was why I got licensed - so I could test/transmit with it. Why this radio? It was really cheap, since no modern programming tools will touch it.
Was several months later until i got something that could transmit in the 2m band...
Still to come: some things to transmit in the HF bands... license is ready, money to buy radio is not. I don't even have a baofeng yet ...
