Default RE: How many of you use HAM Ban radios?
ORIGINAL: P47 Jug - Al

Although I am a ham (WB8LXT), I have not operated on the ham bands for flying. Guys at my club, when I was starting to fly, advised me of things like resale value and all that of the ham radios. So I stuck with the common frequencies. I just picked one no one else used. Another ham at the club does fly the ham frequencies and has not had a problem. I should note our field is out in the boonies.

Guys,

The resale thing used to be true, but since eBay that is no longer true. Ham stuff brings at least the same as 72 MHz stuff. And BTW, old gear is still legal and it brings a decent price too.

I have never had a problem on 6 meters but I have seen a bunch have them on 72 MHz.
