With the need for long range coms being not nearly met with cb, I'm switching to 2m ham. I have decided on the icom v8000. Not sure on what antenna yet. going to be mounting it on my 2007 4runner. the antenna mount is a CBI offroad ditch light bracket in front of the drivers a pillar. My question is this; Is the v8000 going to meet my needs? I need to be able to reach out for help where cell phones and other means are far out of reach. would a souped up 10m be a better route? any info is helpful. I'm new to ham, still studying for the test.
