I am studying on my HAM License and hope to get it before the weather starts to become more active, and I have made a thread before about mobile hand held radios, and now have decided to get a mobile radio instead (looks cooler and would be a good conversation starter on why I have it) and have looked at the ones suggested such as the Yaesu FT 1900R or something similar.
Question 1. What is a great starting radio but also has NWS weather radio capabilities (if possible) at a 100-175 dollar range (FT Student, PT Job)
Question 2. What is a good antenna size, from talking around my area some are using 36" antennas. Are those okay? I do not what a 10' one but something similar or a little longer then a cars radio antenna.
Question 3. I have a 92 Dodge Grand Caravan (SE), where is a good spot to mount an antenna?
Thanks,
Joseph McAllister
