Hello everyone, this is BD8DRW. I'm here to ask for your advice on choosing a base station radio.
Please point out any inaccuracies in the following content.
The content might be a bit extensive, as I want to clearly express my needs. Here's a concise version: I'm looking for a complete old-style radio station setup, and I need recommendations for suitable models.
Overview
I tend to prefer Kenwood/Yaesu/Icom brands.Old radio stationI enjoy hands-on repair work; it's much more interesting!
Starting point
Since obtaining my callsign in early April of this year, I have successfully used my handheld radio (Yaesu VX-8DR) (+Lactobacillus Yagi antenna) to access local repeaters.repeater、Direct frequencyTonglian (5W City Loop, covering distances of 50 km+）、APRSSending and receivingSatellite CommunicationListening (still practicing transcription)MMDV boxTonglian (assembled from materials purchased myself, thank you) @BI7ANY The screen firmware (@BG5BTH design printed case, etc.)BeginnerThe project, which also yielded significant intellectual and technical benefits.
However, it is affected by the handheld device.Transmitting powerAndSupported modesDue to these limitations, as well as the fact that I still have two years before I can set up a shortwave radio station,(Can you guess why?), someInteresting gameplayThis is not yet possible. Therefore, after consideration, we decided to purchase a base station radio.
Choose a direction
These are the main factors to consider.
- Versatile: The best optionAll modesRadio (including U/V band with SSB CW and AM modes) and also...SensitivityAs high as possible
2. Use cases: Everyday useHouseholdOccasionally, I get deliveries to my apartment on the top floor.
3. Power: The output power in the U/V range can reach25W，Of course, more than "a little" is also acceptable.
4. Appearance: When not in use, it can also be used as a decorative item and displayed in your home.
These are not the primary considerations.
- The repair company is unavailable. I have some basic electrical repair skills.
(Yes, but not many. Anyway, repairing appliances is fine, and soldering circuit boards has reached a professional level.)
2. Does it include a spectrum analyzer? The spectrum analyzer can be used later with an SDR.
3. Is it portable? Because for everyday home use.
4. Ease of use: I'm already familiar with the anti-human menu on the 8DR.
5. Regarding the license issue: This isn't necessarily unimportant, and this can be discussed later. First, we should select the models and then consult with the association regarding related matters.
