What choices for new 220 radios?

Post by Mong »

Just looking at straight FM HTs & mobiles, not SSB.

Alinco has a 220 HT & mobile

ADI used to sell a 220 mobile, and they had a HT made from their commerical line. sp they could be found maybe NOS

VX7R does it low power

Icom ?

Kenwood has their tri bander that does full power 220 (well, as full power as an HT can be :baby: )

Am I missing anything?

The Alinco works really well... I've had one for 3 years.

Another vote for the Alinco...They are the only manufacturer currently producing and selling a mobile rig.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen commrade

I had a factory 220 GP300 at one time but sold it because I never used it.

Looking to get back into it (of course) and I'm really digging the Alinco DJ-296.

The problem is, since our region is the only one that has 1.25m privileges manufacturers of said gear are few.

Bravo to Alinco for maintaining a presence. :ham:
