2 meter radio suggestions.
I know this is a CB form but i was hoping that some of the ham operators out there that run CB as well could give me some suggestions on a good 2 meter radio.

the icom v8000, 2100h and 2200h are good radios from icom. the yaesu 2800m and 2900r are good ones.

I got an old Radio Shack HTX 242. Has not let me down for over a decade! You can occasionally pick them up for a song today.

the big radioshack mobiles are ok but steer away from the little 25w mobile they made. they all have issues with muffled audio.TheSpaceMan wrote:I got an old Radio Shack HTX 242. Has not let me down for over a decade! You can occasionally pick them up for a song today.
