but but, bro, new 1 abt 650 ni wor? might wana reconsider the price if ure really selling it bro else, y nt juz keep it? u'd nvr knw whn u might need it? juz my 2sens though

You sure its only RM650 now? Anyway my 2200H comes with the UT118.
I already got 2 spares including a heavily abused V8000 set in my car's tool box.

O btw, its not really practical to try tuning into HF signal in a car hehehe. For those familiar with HF, there are no set memory or scanning per se. You would probably kill many other road users with manual rotating the biggie knob. Lets not even go into HF antenna for car.

Hi guys,
Just got myself a Yaesu FT60 R. Hope to meet anyone from PJ area. Still a noob at this & only have been listening to channels so far.

A lot of modern HF mobile rigs could be configured to scan certain frequencies. No, you don't need to rotate those biggie knob .. and you may have heard that many DXers are on certain frequencies .. and local on certain frequencies .. just set them into the memory .. and do a scan on those set. And why not talking about HF antenna on the car? Have you heard about those ATAS/screw driver antennas?

Yes wiraone, have a used atas 120 with me that dont work too well. It can go up but sometime dont return. May offer to anyone here if interested or willing to repair. Currently it can only naik atas not bawah.

Good .. no need viag*sensored* then How much you want to let it go? Have you tried WD-40? ..

For 2meter, I know a lot of Malaysian hams own ICOM 2200H or V8000.
For dual band, most are on Yaesu FT-8800R due to the price but if you've extra dough, go for Kenwood TMV71A.
For HF, most are either on Yaesu FT-857D or FT-897D, again .. due to the price. Both of these radios support all-band/all-mode, hence, it is quite popular. Some go for ICOM IC-706MK2G, but with the current price, it is too overpriced and out of reach for most hams. The IC-706MK2G is either at the same price as IC-7000 or even more expensive now (around RM4K). Kenwood HF sets are mostly out of reach due to the price.

I'm sticking with Yaesu - "Choice of the World's top DX'ers" <-- the stickers I got from all my Yaesu rigs

thanks for the response... i also got the sticker when i bought my ft60... hehehe

dual band...
1. vx6r
2. vx7r
3. ft60r

HF...
1. ft 857d

havent really explored hf bt i thin in my opinion i'd rather fork out a lil bit more get a dual band instead of juz 2m band but, my 2cents anyway need to go sleep d good nite~

bro someone_stupid... how bout mobile rig?? which 1 would u prefer...??

Nampak menarik...barang baru kenapa dah nak jual?
no hp .... boleh sms ka?

May be kaikon sudah upgrade ke better dual-band simultaneous monitoring rig macam ICOM IC-2820H or Kenwood TMV71A or even Yaesu FT-8800R ..

oh ya mobile rig,

1 - ft8800
2 - ic2820
3 - ft8900

guess itz like tat!

thanks for the reply on the survey bro...
