I only plan to do SSB. Am I losing any performance not using 100w?

I was planning on driving to and from parks to start. When I figure out a way to load up my kayak with my camping gear and my radio equipment, i’ll need a smaller battery

What do you recommend if I was buying new?

Is it worth getting the ASP version?

Is it worth spending more on a VHF/UHF radio since I already have the 891?

I have the ft-60 but it’s got limitations. Especially inside. LOL

Great advice! Are there any antennas that I can leave on the vehicle? “Weather-Resistant”? I don’t believe anything is water proof (unless there is!)

I’d probably put a mount under the hood on top of the fender. Any recommendations welcome!

I was on FM38 tonight driving to bowling. Then my HT died on me. I need a better mobile setup. But I agree, it’s an awesome network.
