Hey guys.. Guess what. Thanks to the bug that bit me at FCN hanging around BJButtons and Swift. I started studying for the element 2 Technician class a few weeks ago and today I went to a W5YI-VEC exam session and took the test and passed. They had me give the General a go.. But I missed 1 question to many to pass that.. but saying that I hadn't formally studied any of the Gen. question pool. I was fairly pleased.. So I get to sit back and wait a few days until my call sign shows up on the fcc uls database.. so hopefully ill have that by next weekend and start looking out for a HT and a mobile for my van.

You guys have any suggestions on good HT and mobile radios for 2m / 70cm .. but don't cost a tail and paw :)
