Hi Fred,

Tnx for posting your equipment list, as I'm planning to get a better base
station than just my HT :-)  What do you think of the TM-V71A? Would you
buy it again?  Do you use the Echolink feature?  Are there any features
that you wish it had?

If I had my druthers, I'd rather buy an HF/VHF transceiver, but I've not
found one. :-(

tnx, 73s
