Well, the credit card company that is. As many hams can attest, one can spend just a couple hundred dollars on radio gear or one can spend thousands. The sky is the limit. I guess that’s true with any hobby. This past month, I added a Motorola XPR 4380 900 MHz radio along with an 8 ft. colinear antenna for it. The antenna looked so good I decided to upgrade my trusty old J-pole for a dual-band Comet GP-6 that’s still on its way in the mail. So all in all, about $550 spent.
Now I’ve promised myself to be a good boy financially so I’ve decided to offload some radios I no longer use. I sold a slightly-damaged Kenwood HT this morning for $100 and I’ve got an ad out there to sell a scanner for hopefully $200.
Then I can buy that XPR 4350 70 cm radio for $156! It’s tempting but no, not today.
