Say Condor.. What I would suggest for someone just getting into Ham Radio it to get their Tech ticket. One can pick up real nice little 2 mtr rig for $100, and of course up! That way one can work the 2 mtr repeaters,etc. Then when you decide to upgrade to Gen or Advanced, then shop around for a decent low priced SSB & cw rig. One can find nice rigs on the used market for $250 on up! I enclosed a pict of my messy set up! If you notice the radio to my left. Its a Kenwood ts 530s. They were a real work horse thru the 70's and 80's.Solid as a rock. I still use it today. They don't have all the fancy whistles and bells of the more modern, but still a fine little rig! The rig on the right is a Kenwood ts 870 that I bought used for $750 a cuple yrs ago! In 95 it ran $2600 new! Still a very fine rig. Many whistles& bells. Built in electronic keyer, Built in automatic antenna tuner, etc. Its just loaded with fancy crap I'll never use! Well! Betta hit the sack. Since I've had the station set up, I've been staying up till 2 in the morns playing, and its getting a little much for this ole Fart! Ta Ta..SwanJ[align=center] [/align][align=center] [/align]

You favor Jerry Lee Lewis ( the singer ) . Can you play the piano like him. He can boogie.
