I've had my license for a few months, but want to finally buy something that is a mobile/base which can do HF, VHF/UHF.
I've spent a lot of time trying to research them and from what I've read I found a few models I like. The problem now is I can't seem to locate a place to purchase them online. They may be older and have been replaced, but I was looking at the Yaesu 857, Yaesu 897 and the Icom 706 or 708. The Wouxun seem to have people excited as of late too, but I couldn't determine which would be the most comparable to the Yaesu or Icom.
The LDG Tuner and the G5RV antenna from what I've read have good reviews.
So, are these durable models? Is there a good site to buy them on?
