So I don't want to be left out next year.

Post by W3ZR »

Whats the cheapest I can get a decent astro rig so I can talk to everyone
next year ? If someone has a bargain they wish to sell to a good home,
let me know, or let me know where to look. I am TOTALLY clueless on this
stuff, so I am counting on my brethren not to let me get screwed ! :bnypancake:
Rock On !

I'd be talking to a trusted seller like Doug, TPG, etc.

You would be just fine with an Astro Saber... they're a little older, and they are big (very tall, especially with a big battery).

Personally, I'd dump the extra money and get an XTS3000. More options, more parts, and not so damn big.

well until the wife is making the fulltime big bux, I will look for
a sabre. Besides I like the big radios, it reminds me of my old
Wilson HT .... more battery than radio.
Rock On !
