Hey I'm new to HAM radio and I going to get the license next month. What You think of IC-2200H as a starting station with DIAMOND NR770HB antenna for a mobile station?

[papadishes67]

@Latka303 The IC-2200H is a perfect starter radio, has good sound quality, but not sure about the diamond antenna, I never had one.

Good luck!

This radio was on an Astron 20 amp power supply. This item was sold few months ago.

@DJSpikesan You'll need to find a HAM radio club in your area that will give you the exam for $10. You'll be asked 30 questions about ohms law, radio theory, FCC rules and regulations. Since you run CB you probably already know enough about radio theory and ohms law from experience to pass but you can go to the ARRL site and do the crash courses or practice tests. ARRL is really the place to start because they tell you everything you'll need to have before the test.

@Fantome1989 Gotchya. So what all is entailed in getting a technician license if you don't mind me asking?

[Fantome1989]

@DJSpikesan The 2 meter band is the VHF frequency pool. It's used for local ham communications. If you get your technician license you will most likely do most of your talking on 2 meter or 70cm (UHF) bands.

I was wondering. I just run CB so what exactly is 2m radio used for?

@Latka303 My mobil station is the icom 2200h and i use a diamond 22L it gives me a huge 6.2 db gain this is a very large its almost 97 inches tall i can hit repeaters 60 miles away with it. i would suggest using a heavy duty mount with that antenna.
