With all of the super capable, super affordable HT (handheld) Ham radios available these days, why do you need a big desktop radio at all? With an antenna hookup, power supply, and RF amplifier, you can turn your little radio into a base station rig. Even if you're a ham radio beginner, this is a great way to step up from an entry level VHF radio.
