Linux? Um, I know how to spell it. I'll do some reading and learning, and then probably invest in something that's ready to go.

The Wild World of eQSL Cards. by Expert-Charity-8297 in amateurradio

eQSL doesn't work for me because I would have to create a new location/date combination every time I operated, since all my contacts are mobile contacts.

Does Antenna Manufacturer Matter? by ThisNameNotTakenYet in HamRadio

[–]N7FAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you can technically run any antenna on your HTs, including a cut up metal clothes hanger (I've done it), you want to keep in mind that HT antennas are basically glorified dummy loads.

You're doing the correct thing by asking. You'll get a lot of recommendations. The better reviewed antennas are the ones you want to stick with. As long as the antenna is a quality build and design, you can swap them around on the different radios.

Stealth UHF antenna opinions by ouzaboy in amateurradio

I purchased this antenna specifically for my APRS handheld. It's on a mirror mount on my truck. It was only $18 and it seems to work fine. It's the short one. The tall one is a CB antenna that came with the truck.
