      All,

      Here is a general question for everybody.

      What piece of amateur radio gear do you own that, if it disappeared tomorrow, you would immediately go out and buy again?

      It doesn’t necessarily have to be your most expensive radio or the fanciest thing in the shack. It might be an HT, mobile or HF radio, antenna, power supply, tuner, analyzer, battery, headset, piece of software or even some inexpensive little gadget that turned out to be far more useful than you expected.

      And the important part: why?

      We have members with a tremendous range of experience and interests, and I suspect there are some really good recommendations hiding in everybody’s shack, vehicle or go-kit that the rest of us don’t know about.

      So, what is yours? 😎

        All,

        My apologies, this thread got locked somehow.  If you wished to reply and could not, that is why. It is unlocked now, so please feel free. 😎
