    Yaesu FT2DR?

    Any new news on these radios? battery issues or other wise? Sounds like it will do both fusion and aprs, both directly from the hand held ie, no additional software, laptop, tablet, or droid phone hook up, or external gps etc. i'm just looking into these on youtube.

    Just got my brand new Ranger2950Dx

    my thoughts are to return the kit from best buy. some of that stuff does not appear to be needed, to go from 2950dx radio all you need is 2 wires long enough to get you to the battery of the same or a thicker gauge than what the radio has. you should install 2 fuses at each of the wires right...

    New Sirio 1/2 wave Gain Master
