I've had my ham radio license for a few years now and have only used a couple of handhelds and repeaters. I never bought a full rig, because I don't know much about them and they can be big bank. Also, every time I ask people who 'know radios', I get conflicting feedback (no pun). One person will say it's a good rig and the next hates it and says it is a waste of money. This is the same on eHam.net . So, who to trust? NES, of course...
Recently, a local net swap featured a 'TenTec Paragon Model 585 Transceiver' for a couple hundred dollars. It is solid state with the full filter set. It seemed like a fair option to me.
So, to the NES braintrust, does anyone have familiarity with this unit? Thoughts?
Thank you. VTHunter
