All my ham friends that I shoot the bull with have them, so I decided to get one just to have it with me where ever I am in the house....also, I help alot with ARES/RACES and they will either call on the phone when we are needed or use the radio..that way I have things at hand...I too have an old brick for my first 2 mtr...but this is nice...too bad its not being used as much anymore. We used to have a great watchdog on our local repeater for the one club I belong to but he became a SK about 3 years ago and is sorely missed. W3PYF,Clarence, was our club welcome committee to the repeater...since his death, no one monitors like that anymore...he was always there, what a great Elmer he was, what a wealth of knowledge...now his son Mel has his father's call but lives in New England states. At least now I can have HF and 2M on at the same time in the vehicle.
