Hi Guys,
I'm looking to get back in to the hobby after 35 years and its still foggy but, I'm looking for recommendations for a rig that I can have a detachable head, large font characters (bad eyesight coming on) on the small to medium size antenna and 50-100 watt. Ultimately I want to use it for SHTF and some dxing I don't want to have to rely on repeaters just in a SHTF scenario. It will be mounted in a jeep wrangler so I wanna keep it as small as possible. I do have access to a Yaesu 857D but not sure the antenna will be good for the application.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance all
