And would explain why I've been dragging my feet on dumping my $$$ on more 2 meter equipment. I've stopped myself 3 times now from jumping into the Jeep, and driving to New Castle, DE to visit HRO. I've put the word out on all the local 2 meter nets in my area that I'm looking for a used HF rig, preferably an IC-718, but I'd entertain any other piece of equipment as long as it's in good working order. So far no one has made any offers. I looked through the classifieds on QRZ, and there is a guy in my area that's selling an IC-718, but he's also selling a bunch of other gear along with it as a package deal. I really don't want the other gear, and can't afford the whole package.
I figure I'll hold out for a little while longer to see what happens, but you know as soon as I blow this cash on more VHF gear, someone will come along with the deal of the century on a bearly used multi function HF rig, and I won't have the cash to buy it......

In the mean time, I think I'll build myself a 2 meter J-Pole, and see how much better it works over what I'm using now.....

I have other VHF questions, but I'll post them in that forum....
