Ham Radios and Truckers

right now I am just using a htx 242 in the work truck. Used to use a Icom 706 MK2G in a W900 it did well with monoband antenna and autotuner. Radio did fail and when it was repaired the shop cited loose components plus 1 resistor failure. I haven't put it in the current truck as I run NYC twice a week and the constant pounding due to the awful roads might shake things loose again. Next truck is to have an airride steer axle so we'll reevaluate then.

 

I run a 2 meter in the truck. I run GA and SC a lot and use the linked repeaters sometimes.

 

I tried to run 2m back in the day, but I was all over the eastern third of the states. No common repeaters to program.
