[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ID-1

[IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR]

ALL,

Indeed it has been quite a while since I have seen, spoken, or heard  
many from the club. I do miss the DC area though my Navy Reserve and  
civilian consultative duties have kept me busy in other places (my  
Father's illness and passing last week keeping me in Philly the most  
lately). I do recall that there is a lot of 1.2GHz expertise in the  
club and I recently obtained an ID-1 radio (absent a microphone, going  
to get the HM-154T).




I have been advised that locally (I am in Charlotte right now), that  
absent a multi-element beam I might not make it into the local area  
repeaters very easily from where I am (though am changing locales from  
where I will live soon). The problem is, renting and setting up such  
an antenna is highly unlikely! :)

Whilst I am going to order a microphone, I also wish to order an  
antenna with for it too. I was investigating mobile Diamond antennas  
(NR124N and their larger NR2000NA). Any advice would be appreciated!

I also need to get a magnetic mount (N style) and with the higher  
frequencies involved am more concerned about the kind of feed line it  
will have.


Thanks and 73,

Stuart
