[FARC] Quick question for anyone

[Bob Moroney]

Josh, I'll go along with Joe's comments on the 2m single band mobile rigs. 

One big advantage they have over some of the dual-band rigs is much 
better intermod resistance, since the front end receiver bandpass is 
narrower by definition.  This can make a big difference in signal-dense 
areas like downtown Frederick or the Rockville-Gburg-Germantown 
corridor, in my experience.

But do check with KJI, if you haven't already.  He usually meets or 
beats the other guys' prices, and offers the same fast and free shipping 
service.  (But unlike the other guys, he brings his shop down to our 
Hamfest... )
