Just for fun I installed a Motorola Radius 200 2 meter ham radio in my RTV 1120. I got the radio super cheap and had the antenna. It’s a 4 channel radio with 3 local repeaters and 146.520 in it. Any other ham operators out there?

Nice! Not active anymore and had a hard time renewing this time. Cannot remember the stupid PIN number. I need to mail in before it is too late.

There is quite a few hams on this forum. I am sure they will chime in. 73

Cool. Yes. The FCC and their ULS system. I’m a VE and we can’t even give a test unless the candidate has a FRN number from them

Yep, I'm a HAM radio operator!

If I ever get a cab tractor, I'm for sure going to install a HAM radio in it... probably only do a 1/4 wave 2m antenna on it though to keep it from getting destroyed by trees.

That’s what’s on my RTV for the same reason. Not crazy about it but it’s a compromise for sure. The 45watt radio helps hit my local repeaters. I’m more of a HF CW guy, this was just something for fun

Pretty neat. I join in on a few nets each week. I enjoy 2 meter. KO4-DZZ.

Joe N8JTQ here... not planning to install radio equipment due to lots of woods work. Already lost the rubber drip rail and work light off the cab roof. Mobile is equipped with 2m and 440. Shack is hf thru 440. Active in ARES/RACES and I am the Otsego Co. EC. Enjoyed Field Day this year!

Hi Steve. Did you operate from your EOC? We did this year. What Call sign did you use for Field Day? May have worked you....40m was hot for us!!

No, not from a EOC. A local club I belong to had a event at a state park. They had a Boy Scout training session and I went to do my VE thing. I worked some CW later at home with my own call sign.
