I finally bought my very first base rig! I've always just used an HT for local 2m communication. I bought this 100W Yaesu FT-840 from WX5TJW on a ham radio equipment sale/swap Facebook group for $300. This radio transmits on the 160 - 10 meter Amateur Bands using USB/LSB, CW, AM and FB modes. I still need to purchase a power source and antenna tune before I can get on the air and will be looking for those at the upcoming BirmingHAM fest in March. Since I am still a Technician, my main plan was to use the 10 meter band and also listen to all the other bands to see.... I mean hear... what's out there.
