I am considering adding either a 6M FM or 10M FM mobile in the car, and would like some suggestions.
Alinco makes a pretty decent 6 or 10 mobile, and there's also used Kenwood TS 50S/60S rigs. I don't have a need for full HF capabilities in the car, so I'd like to stick to just either 6 or 10.
I haven't been on either 6 meters or 10 meters in about 10 years, so I honestly can't remember what propagation was for either band on FM. I'd like to have something simple and cheap in the car that I can use to talk to other people on occasion besides the local round-tables on 2 meters.
There aren't many 6 or 10 repeaters in my area, so I'd probably be looking for good band conditions to work distant repeaters or simplex.
For mobile use, what has been your experiences on 6M FM and 10M FM?
