Default VHF Radio


"Ken Corbett" wrote

Looking for an inexpensive fixed VHF radio. Looked at Uniden, Icom and
Standard Horizon.

Any advice on which to buy?


Hi Ken, for a fixed-land unit, I am completely happy with my JRC 25w radio.
Connected to an I.C.E. lightning arrestor, 65' of RG-8U heavy feedline and a
custom marine-tuned copper pipe J-Pole antenna, I have excellent coverage of
the whole AOR and quite far beyond it in some directions.

Best part? Paid $105 for it from a big electronics distributor on eBay.

Best regards,

Jack
