Hello all -
Planning for a return to VHF/UHF upon retirement at end of year. I am
impressed by the activity reports from 222MHz, and am thinking of adding it to
the station. I have never been on the band and am curious what most people are
using for radios - Transverters are the norm, but what about the IF radios,
antennas and amplifiers? What is considered adequate power for most work,
other than enough to melt the solder on a connector? Besides W6PQL amps, if
Jim is still making them, Lunar Link, and Larcan conversions, what amplifiers
and power levels are most people using? Has anyone successfully modified a 2
meter Commander II for 222MHz? Same for antennas. Looks like Terry and
Directive Systems, M2 and perhaps MFJ/CC are the players. What are the
preferred antenna setups for non-eme general use? Thanks for your responses.
73, Chris W3CMP
