Bump for this thread and anyone thinking about HAM.

I just bought a new rig for the truck - does way more than I understand or will probably understand in the next year or so but I didn't want to spend a few hundred and then want to upgrade again next year.

So I got a Kenwood TM-D710G which has the built in GPS for APRS.
Will be hooked up to a Rigrunner 4004 which has 4 ports for power plus 2 USB ports for charging devices.
Also got a Cobra 75 WXST for off roading comms with non-hams

Will eventually be picking up a Dell Venue 8 Pro to do more APRS stuff as well as off roading GPS mapping.

Install is getting done Monday - I'll post some photos in the Photo area.

So... if anyone has the equipment to help me tune my antennas for CB and HAM I will happily reward them with beer or some 9 or 5.56 ammo for their time.
