Passed my Tech Exam today. Only missed one question. Am looking at
HTs. I am considering an IC -T7H from ICOM and a YAESU FT-60R. Leaning
towards the Yaesu. Any thoughts ideas or suggestions?

fitst of all congratuations

Not realying familer with either those radio althought they both look
fairly

I dod sugest if you travel much that aquire programing
software/interface cables to make it easier to program the radio if you
take a trip. most newer radio are a pain to reprogram an HT and with
the increasing number of repaeters using Pl tones to important to
program your radio before you get some place

Mine is a Kenwood TH-G71. Very good tx/rx range.

Add a better antenna no matter which radio you get. The Comet SMA-24
works well and gives you a gain of 2.15/5.3 V/U.

Congratulations on your new ticket! Have fun on the air.

No, You missed another ten questions, the CW questions, but since the
Tech license is dumbed down you weren't tested on them.

Don't know which HT to recommend, but a lot of No-codes like the
Cobra 148GTL for HF.

No I didn't take the code test. You're absolutely no help. You just
try and stir the pot. If you have so much knowledge why don't you share
it with the group instead of just causing trouble.

I took the test the government of my country prescribed I take. If you
don't like it call the FCC. I've long since tired of your whining.

Don't know which HT to recommend,

I thought you knew everything there is to know about Ham radio. I
thought you were the upmost authority on everything.

but a lot of No-codes like the
Cobra 148GTL for HF.

Sounds like you know from experience. Now we know who the CB expert is
on the group.

Thanks for the advice. I already went with Yaseu. Got a good deal on
it. Listening to it right now. I'm picking up 12 repeaters on the duck
antenna. Complicated to figure out to begin with but pretty cool. It
even picks up 800 MHz police and am air. I'm in hog heaven.
