Little late, eh? KH6SU. I haven't been active since about 1995 and I'm toying with getting a 2M rig for my truck. What's good? I refuse to buy any of those Chinese crap rigs.

I was on D-STAR a few minutes ago. Trying to work some satellites when I have the time, but that is somewhat rare.

I haven't set anything up at the house yet. I don't have any time to sit and browse the nets.

Long, long time ago, I was WB5LAS. I ordered one of those POS bow-funk HTs. If I'm inclined after that, I'll invest in a real rig.

Bruce - when you get your radio, you'll find (as I did) that the user interface is pretty much unusable. What makes these little radios well worth the $40.00 they cost is CHIRP - open source radio programming software. I use it with my Baofeng, and it's the bomb:

Can't recommend it enough, it works fantastically. Give it a go, I think you'll be glad you did.
