I was checking where to mount it when I took that picture, the radio is back in the box sitting on my workbench until I tear the machine apart this winter installing other trinkets.

In case anyone is looking to buy an expensive portable antenna, Chameleon is having a sale. I kid, they're expensive but very well built. I have one and it is nice.

Looking at their feed, it's also 440 and 1200 repeaters as well.

They have a 2m, 70c, and 1200MHz version. I have noticed a real lack of repeaters in the GHz range around here. Technically we do have a 900MHz repeater nearby, but that's practically HF.

Got some good early Black Friday sales started at HRO. Trying to ease up on the credit card, but there are some nice deals.

Does not say where. Harbor Freight?
I used a TS-130 for years as a mobile HF radio after I got tired of having to tune my TS-520 every time I changed freq more than a couple kilohertz (while driving
). It worked great...until it didn't . It's still in a box somewhere in my barn. That TS-440s was a great radio...I almost bought one when I worked at HRO after they first came out but then soon afterward, Kenwood came out with the TS-850 which blew me away so I bought one...now I have three of them...![[rockon]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/020.gif "Rockon [rockon]")

I've always loved the Kenwood 800 series radios. I was all set to buy an 850 when the 870's came out, so I got that. I currently run an 890 that completely blows me away.
That 440 will make a nice karma for someone, assuming everything works.
Yep, the 870 is also a great radio...I keep looking at the ones for sale on ebay or QRZ but haven't pulled the trigger on one. I have a DSP-100 that I use with one of my 850's...I guess these are like unicorns. It works well but it certainly isn't necessary to get great results from the 850. I thought I read somewhere that the 870 has the DSP-100 circuit built into it...not sure. I know the TS-950SDX has that circuit in it. I'd love to find one of those 950SDX's at a decent price...unfortunately, they are far and few between at any price.

Mustn't. Buy. More. Transceivers.
My current rule is no more transceivers until I find that KX2. I'm not desperate enough yet to buy one retail and wait for it. I want one someone else tricked out and then realized they don't like going outside and want to sell it for a song. Hey, it could happen.

Seriously, this is a decent mic. I think Baofeng also fits Kenwood?
