    Default Can HAM

    Thinking of putting a UHF/VHF ham radio on my F3 limited.
    Has anyone here put a ham radio on their spyder?I
    Looking at the uv25x2 Btech, because of mini size.

    If so which make, model radio and what antenna did you use.

    Thanks

    Default Can ham

    Not planning to ride and talk. But to stop at nice locations to see who i can raise on 2 meters. Only had my hand held radio on brasstown bald last week. Only 1 watt Output. 5 to 25 might be better.
