Lots of great info guys.

Not sure what the problem with a "stock" radio is to be honest. What else do I need to listen to for road conditions? I looked at a 29 and it had everything I THINK I need. SWR, calibration, etc.

AND, what's the deal on some of the "peaked & tuned" mail order rigs?

Snake oil? Won't the radio calibration do the needed tuning?

I'l do 95% of my talking on Ham. NO plans to put in a huge base station.
Maybe a small base antenna & a 29 in the garage.

Appreciate you answering all the rookie questions.

I found a 29 for $84 shipped. The one I found local is $108 out the door.
