I am totally new to ham radio. Even though I have had my tech license for
about 8 years I have never gotten a radio or been on the air.
I live in NH and the local amateur radio club has 2 repeaters on 2m 145.33/ 100.00hz
and 70cm 443.550/ 136.5 hz
What does the 100 hz and 136.5 hz mean?
I'm looking into setting up a dual band radio as a base, but there seems to be so many radios out there I find my self lost in what I should get.
Then I'll need some type of antenna and I'm lost on it, if they even make a dual band antenna for 2m and 70cm.
Looking to spend about $200-250.
Any one have any suggestions on how to start looking and what type of radio and antenna might be best for me?
