Hello World ... I've been out of ham radio for about 10 years but would like to jump back in. I live in a 55+ community that doesn't allow outdoor antennas. I would like to set up a 2 meter base station with an antenna in the attic. My question is can anyone recommend a 2 meter transceiver. I'm also confused by the different modes available ... DStar, EchoLink, APRS? I would think I would gravitate to Dstar but Echolink also sounds interesting. Is there a transceiver on the market today that supports both modes? The last time I was on 2 meters I was using a Gonset Communicator back in the 1950s so you can see I've got some catching up to do. Anyway, any feedback would be welcome. Thanks and 73s from K3CNE (Hatfield, PA) |

I don't have a recommendation, but i would get a analog / digital radio and get a hot spot to go along with it. At my QTH I started with Dstar and ended up with dstar, fusion and dmr and two hot spots...... I think the addition of a digital besides analog will give you more flexibility. 73's good luck with it de Rich |
