i bought the ic2200h instead.. got the whole complete set plus antenna, bracket n cable for RM750..

they told me i might regret getting the handy first and not the rig.. coz if.. i want to transmit later i might not get the result that i wanted.. so they suggested that i get the rig first and maybe later the handy.. btw.. they were selling the v85 for RM600...

out of curiosity.. how was the crowd at previous pasar lambak?? coz that was my first time..

it would really depends, me myself i would encourage people to get a handie ... coz wih a handie its easy, take it in and out, u can only Rx at the moment, so u can practically listen to it anywhere ...
and bout transmiting, u can hit any repeaters with a handie at 5w, even mobile uses 5w to hit repeaters with a simple antenna ... like MC101 or any cili padi ...
then at home if u wan, u can set up a home base antenna ... anything like a thai slimjim or home brew one urself ...
5w, colinear - can hit orali - indon k ... trend in MY is to go qrp ... low power - superb antenna ...
