I'm using an Icom IC-706MKII and a 102" steel whip in my car. It works
great. It's a bit of an overkill, but it does everything I want, and it's
built
like a ....... Beats the crap out of everything else I've owned. I'm not
bragging - really. I just got tired of the problems and limitations of my
previous converted radios and got serious. There are lots of them
available used
and cheap. I've seen them as low as $300 used and for less than $800 new.
You
have to exercise restraint though. Transmit on the ham bands any they will
come
looking for you. Fake calls signs don't work as 99% (well, it's most
likely
less, but you get the idea) of the hams check online to see if it's legit.
It's
not the FCC you have to worry about most of the time. Stay off the ham
bands and
they pretty much leave you alone.
