I'm new to some of the amateur radio side of things. I'm trying to find what's best for my setup. I want to add a dual band VHF/UHF setup to my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I currently have CB like the picture below. I want to similarly match the antenna placement and length, if it makes sense to do so. Not that worried about the appearance of the antenna.
I have seen the Icom IC-2730A for sale in the classifieds and think that's more or less what I am looking for. I want a detachable face for placing where I want in my vehicle. I like to keep things as clean as possible in there. Other opinions on radios is greatly appreciated.
What do I want it for? I want to be able to communicate at the small level with people I know or meet on trails or otherwise. I also want to be able to contact anyone in case of an emergency. (Thanks for having the freqs listed on here) I understand that I need to get licensed as well. I'm not worried about that part of it. I'll probably have the testing done in a couple of weeks.
Care to help me out?
