Recently there was a message in the Winona ARC mailing from Ben that he had some kits (PCB + parts) available for tinkering. I've been experimenting with APRS so why not?
After passing my Technician exam, I enjoyed messing with VHF/UHF for a bit, until the 2020 ARRL Field Day. My local club, the Winona ARC, hosted our local event and I was addicted to HF.
I purchased this handheld to have an inexpensive handheld while I was at home or out and about. For the money, the unit is okay. Can't expect a $30 unit to perform like a $300 unit.
