SCANNING THE AIRWAVES SINCE 1987
Do any ham radio companies make a 2 meter or 70cm, or even a dual band BASE radio? I've been doing some searching online and can't seem to find any. Plenty of HF base radios but nothing otherwise.
Well, I take that back. I did come across one radio a couple of days ago that was, IIRC, a quad band base that included 2 meter and 70cm, but it was around $1500 or so. Waaaaaay out of my price range.
Not that I don't mind hooking my mobiles up to my 30 amp power supply and running them as base radios, but it'd be nice, at least I think it would be, if there was an affordable 2 meter / 70cm base radio. Any idea as to why they are few and far between, or non-existent?
