[HCARC] Radio equipment questions

[John Luttrell]

Hi guys,

On Wednesday I am going to pick up a few radios, which is great, because
hopefully I can bring them to the field day and some of you might be able
to show me a few things (?).

But my budget may allow me to get another radio that is not included in
this setup I am soon be a proud owner of (the main radio is a "Yaesu -
FT-1000MP") - I did want a radio that worked the 23cm and 70cm if I am
stating that correctly.

I had looked into SDR setups, but they seem so expensive. I don't want a
hand held and it looks like a mobile will be the only way to go, but I can
fix that with a power supply (?).

I want the ability to listen or transmit (upon my receiving my license /
ticket) on 1 radio and if possible have Josh do CW on another, or to be
able to listen on several.

The radios I am getting are as follows:

Yaesu - FT-1000MP
Alinco DR-605TQ
Azden PCS-7500

I am also getting myself a few other things, I guess next is to find a
suitable antenna array!

But my budget leaves me with possibly another $600 - $800. I want to ensure
I cover most if not all of my bases, so that I am not asking my darling
Wife for money again in 6 months!

Thanks guys!
