For portable work, I use a Radio Shack HTX-420 walkie-talkie, FM, VHF/UHF.
My home base radio is an all-mode Yaseu FT-897D, HF to UHF.
APRS: I am off the air with packet radio until I can find a monitor that will be compatible with an Apple Quadra 605 computer. Know where I can get one?
ANTENNAS:
A dual-band 2-meter (4 element) and 70 cm (7 element) yagi antenna, 6 meters high.
A dual band, VHF/UHF, for the car.
For 6-meters I use Cushcraft A50-3S 3-element beam 6 meters high.
HF antenna is a 10 meter dipole 6 meters high.
A 15.24 meter random wire antenna 5 meters high (used for listening).
