    I just know if I had to do it over again that's the model I would purchase simply because I could calibrate it before each use. Mfj wants a hundred bucks to calibrate my 259b

    Even with an mfj,with trucks,buildings,reefers,inverters ect around you will mess with results..
    That 226 looks interesting..Might have to put a for sale sign on my 259b..

    Send him over to the "The High Desert"(Hesperia, Ca.) by the Peelot Hi-15 and Jct 395 split. It would put him right under 4,000 ft elevation. I can hear all kind of skips up here. It seems Hard Drive keeps moving west......a little further more from where he is currently at would be BEST :D

    I wonder why they are charging me tax to ship to Ohio. Did someone change the rules?

    Just reconfirmed. Mfj charging me $22 tax, but no tax with gigaparts. BTW, I am going with the 226, thx for pointing it out to me.

    I picked up a 226 at the Charlotte Hamfest two months ago, and it does everything I need except for on UHF. We've been getting pretty involved in GMRS here, so that only thing I can't really do is fiddle with reactance readings and such. But if a radio makes if past my bench with more-or-less flying colors, I just use the Bird with appropriate slug to make sure the antenna is happy. I like that I can save files to my PC with this, and can upgrade the firmware when they come out with new toys to play inside the little wonderbox.
