G4FON for the code - free for download. Google it and
you'll find it.
I *highly* recommend the Icom IC-T2H 2 meter handheld.
I love mine! Unless you live in a big metro area (If you do,
you will want 2 meters and 70 cm on your HT). I got my
HT for 90 bucks, and get consistent *excellent* audio and
signal reports, because it puts out a full 5 watts. Get some
NiMH batteries at Sam's Club (the 2000+ maH rated ones),
and a charger, and you'll have a LONG lasting battery setup
to go with it, all still on the cheap.
