    UHF CB and Amateur Rig

    I've been doing some research on UHF CBs and then got the idea that I should try and get a rig that incorporates the 70cm Amateur band as well. I have got an Amateur Op's cert but let the licence/call sign drop three or four years ago as I wasn't using it.

    Are any of you Amateurs out there using such a rig? There a a couple that would probably do the job, like the ICom IC-F6023 for example, where you can drop the O/P to 5w for CB and go to 25W for 70cm. It seems like a good option to have for a few extra bucks.

    Cheers

    I run a GME TX3820U which lives neatly under the drivers seat of a D4 with a remote mic. Very easy to program and reprogram via laptop. It's even theoretically possible to set up a 25W Ch5 if the need arises and other frequencies outside of the 80Ch CB range can be RX only. I thought it was worth the few extra bucks for a unit designed to operate at 25W and generally only used at 5W. Go for it.

    OK. Thanks. So the GME can be programmed for both bands without any additional software or expertise?
