I should sack up and get my HAM license. I have a BF-F8HP collecting dust that I got as a gift ages ago.

Yes
It's on my to do list as well
The tech license is an easy way to get started, and worth the time.
I can't get an f8hp that actually works well.
Low audio or causes splatter elsewhere to interfere with other frequencies. I gave up in Fengs as soon as i could upgrade.
(Again, a good learning experience)
Do it!!
