Stand-by, I have to QSY. Comms are being interferred with by the incessant, non-stop digital drone of %&*@! computers slowly texting “599” to each other.

I don't. I got tired of them parroting the same exact stuff as if every single one of them got the same script to read from.

is it worth it saving up for one of the more expensive radios like icom 7300 or something second hand?
i see that they have unlockable vfo. do most other radios have that too?
also, having a built in antenna tuner is very good.
thats just an example

what is the cheapest radio that has built in antenna tuner and unlockable vfo?
i mean using 22m or 45m or 11m + the standard ham bands.
>>
any opinions on xiegu g90?
i see one second hand for 200

i think xiegu g90 fits the bill.
it also has an swr scan which is handy.
the one for 200 is gone. it was cheap.
