Subj : Taking the plunge To : All From : Sean Dennis Date : Fri Mar 16 2001 02:35 am Hello, All! With the advent of the infamous "tax return", I've decided after having my license for four years, to finally buy a good 2m HT. My friend recommended Alinco stuff to me (he has a couple), so I did a little shopping around. I am seriously considering purchasing an Alinco DJ195T (you can see a little info and a pic about it at http://www.aesham.com/display_pages/dj195t.html). Any advice or comments about that radio? It's $140... which is a good chunk of money for me. This would be more an investment than anything else... and I thought of it this way: what good is a license when you don't have any equipment to enjoy it? :) 73 DE KD5COL, Sean --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+ * Origin: Outpost BBS // Carbondale, IL // +1-618-529-3176 (1:115/776) .
