[MRCA] My first Green manpack HF radio help.

[KD2GIY]

I looked into all all the radios that was suggested to me and I have to
tell you I want all of them! Haha.
If it was up to me I would have the Jay Leno garage filled with radios and
motorcycles.

As of now I believe the PRC 515 with the digital face fits the bill. Even
though it's not an American radio as I stated in my must haves..

W2hx suggested this to me last year and I kind of looked into it a little
bit. But now I'm ready!

I also operated Dales 515 when he camped at highpoint last year and enjoyed
it.

So now I have a search ahead of me .


Best regards
