i been kicking around gettin one simply cuz i can scan alot of stuff and talk to my hunting buddys a long ways. does and one got any thing good or bad to say about em i need some feed back before i just go buyin one.. thanks for all your help...

The Icom 2200 is what most guys run around here, or the yesau, You can select your power, if your running garmins etc. I think around 150 bucks

what does it have to do with garmin i do use em??

vhf is the only way to go

ok any suggestions on where on line to order one and a antenna? i under stand they work like a scanner and on top of that u can talk a long ways?? any thing u can tell me about them is helpful thanks

they dont work quite like a scanner they come with 144.000 mhz thru 148.999 mhz and you DON'T wanna talk there. U need a licenese to talk on them. But they can be "clipped" which give you more channels and there is 4 free channels I don't know all of them but one is 154.600. but there you are only supposed to run 5 watts. most people dont run 5 watts but that is the law so u can run what you want really.

aesham.com, will get you anything you need. Or you can order from e bay also. The radio's are in the ham freq. which goes to 149, on the icom there is sites which shows you mars capability, which means a mod, and you can go to 174 freq. Most marine channels are around 156 to 157. Private channels either side of that. If thats to much for a beginner, you can order them off e bay, i believe the antenna farm,is the name, which will do the mod, or mars capability for you. The right way to do it, is get a license for a freq. Especially around population. Good luck

go with the icom 2200h. I was very hesitant about getting my first radio but the guys i bear hunt with have it so i gave it a shot and LOVE it

I run an Icom 2200 in the truck and a Kenwood TH6 in my pack.
