A brand new radio from Wouxun, the KG-Q10H includes 4 Ham Radio bands that are actually USEABLE, at least in the USA. The 3rd and 4th band, 1.25M and 6M, are not as popular as 2M/70cm but there are FM repeaters around for those bands, and they get some good simplex activity, when used. I like this radio - let's see how it tests on a power meter Link - http://hr2.li/9puzo Become a supporter of this...
