What is a good quality Ham radio for an absolute beginner?
I JUST got my license, and I can't wait to start, but I am clueless when it comes to bands, frequencies, tri-band and quad-band stuff on certain radios. Basically, I want to get as far as I can with as little equipment as I can, on the frequencies I'm allowed on. I am also a storm spotter, and I would like to get a radio that is relatively simple to use. I also want to listen to airplanes and airports, so that, along with all the other things, are what I am looking for in a Ham radio.
Kenwood says they have a great radio for beginners, but it is small, and I have fairly large hands, and a few years ago, I bought a stereo for my car from Kenwood and was SEVERLEY dissappointed.
What should I buy?
I'd like one that I can put in my car and also take with me- and of course, talk as far as I can.
That will depend on your license class as to what bands you can work. If you are beginning "tech" class, then you're probably limited to 2, 6, or maybe 10 meters, and very few rigs on the market to handle all of these bands, so more than one will be necessary.
First thing, determine which bands you can legally use, then talk to the local ham radio shop for their ideas.
Most two or six meter rigs or ones in the cm range need the use of repeaters to get any distance, ten meter gives greater range, but then for long range communications a amplifier is necessary, ( and in most cases illegal for ten meters), and the band has been quite dead for about three years now.
So friend, it all depends on your class of license.
Good luck, and it's a great hobby. Been ham for over thirty years, and have a preference for Kenwood equipment. Very reliable.
