I wasn't aware that mobiles went up much past that price point.

I will have to look at them more closely as I will admit I have never given them much thought as I will be setting this radio up in a remote location where there is no internet. Are these units not heavily driven by software, updates and connectivity with the internet?

Okay, thanks guys. I didn't mean to hijack the thread but I wanted a clearer understanding of why the bias was generally towards older models. I am in the market for a "new" all mode/multi-band radio ($1500 max) and would much prefer a good "all-in-one" ham radio (if one exists) to buying a ham...

Maybe I should better qualify my statement - I agree with buying a ham rig especially if you have your licence or intending to get one. I was just curious as to why more often than not the models that folks seem to recommend tend to be somewhat "vintage". I'm guessing price has a lot to do...

I definitely get what you guys are saying about quality. But I have noticed here and elsewhere as well that people generally steer others towards older ham rig models. In some cases the OP is set on a clear price range and so it is understandable why an older used ham radio would meet their...

Sounds like you folks are much more inclined to consider a logical approach to things than our government. We had to apply for a commercial frequency licence at my workplace so that we could legally operate a bomb robot via remote control. Because our power was 5 watts on the transceiver (and...

Thanks for the replies guys ! Just to clarify I have my ham/amateur licence. I know the terms used to classify the types of licences are different depending on the country. I had to look up what a "tech exam" was and I guess my licence would be the equivalent of your "general" as I can operate...

I will apologize for anyone I offend with my apparent ignorance but in an effort to read up on this before posting I am finding myself getting more and more confused so PLEASE jump in and correct me wherever necessary.... Here's some background: I have had my ham licence for several years but...
