Hi All,
New to ham, former CB'er in the process of obtaining my license. Would
appreciate any feedback, advise or suggestions on what is best 10M base
station rig. Don't have a lot of $$ but was looking at the Galaxy-2715
or Ranger-2890WX.
Thanx in advance & any info is appreciated.

No sense in spending $3-400 for a one band rig, especially when the
sun spot cycle is declining and 10 meters is slowing down, when you
can spend about $5-6-700 for an all band HF-rig like an Icom 718,
Yeasu 840, Kenwood TS-50 or Alinco DX-77T.

Rangers and Galaxys are glorified CB rigs. You can do better.
