Drop me a pm if you need a lift. I can bring you to the clubhouse or direct to some 9M if possible. Anyhow, do you by any chance have two way radio communications for dummies? haha

thanks for the offer. will let you know about it and sorry bro. seems that i dont have that book xD

get it done asap u got set d?

set d? xD im sorry i guess i dont get that... what do you mean?

lucifer_666: d = already...

muhahah.. I thought trying to remember those ham q codes already pening .. now I see lot of sms style writing in the forum .. lagi pening oo.. what is that xD stuff .. saw my kids using all these stuffs and not knowing what all the short froms/abbreviations mean.

yeah this sms style typing also make me pening...

That is the reason it should not become a habit. I am having a hard time reading all these abbreviated codes too hahaahha.

Comes out making a guy sounds cute? Don't think it is a good idea.

I got an sms from a cute girl once " 2 9 I m x going out although it is gr8 to c u again" << I replied IDKWYATA GN

lucifer : i mean do u have a rig already?

huhu.. my mistake. nope. im yet to acquire a rig of my own. thats why as i said, though ive passed my rae my knowledge is purely theoretical. too bad though, eh? but planning to get one soon ^^

ooooo eyeing on? handy or mobile for ur first 1?

Eddy, from experience would you consider getting a mobile rig first instead of handy if you were given to choose again? For almost the same price, I find my handy more than a paper weight.

Anyhow XD <- this means laughing very hard. the eyes close, mouth open big..

ahahaha XD i'd still take handy cuz i use it more thn my mobile

there some possible options for my first rig, be it handy or mobile. but i wouldnt mind receiving some old pointers from you guys as i dont wanna end up with triple-digit worth of paper weight and im not sure if im to get a hvf/uhf mobile set or save some more and get an all-mode set as well. any recommendation? for sets and why its a good purchase, of course

Most important, what is your budget range?

maybe around 1500 first my first set. but anything within the range should be good enough to be considered

hmm would u be driving or would u wan to able to qso anywhere frm lets say, a mamak stall or while hiking or such?

driving of course and possibly some hiking too

You cant escape buying a handy and a mobile.

Handy you will get bored very quickly. A mobile with a power supply and tons of antenna to choose from.

Building up a base unit at home with a good ear antenna would be more exciting. My take.

Added on May 25, 2010, 1:41 amyea, thats what thought xD but which one is first? a mobile perhaps, eh? its better if it can be portable as well with its own internal power source like FT-817, FT-897 and/or IC 703. Any other models which one can hook up with power supply without jeopardizing its portability (and practicality)? i mean, on foot trekking and camping
