[QUOTE="Waldo, post: 23757, member: 136"] I have a Kenwood TMV7a and have had no problems with it. It is a dual band transciever with dual recieve. You can monitor your race freq as well as the weatherman or scan race channels or whatever. It is modified (I had it done for $50). The work is warrantied. PM me if you have any questions on that. It is ILLEGAL for any amatuer (ham) radio to be modified in any way. It is also against FCC regs to use an amatuer band radio for business or professional use (like racing). However, many people do including myself. About the license - if you are planning on using the amatuer radio for amatuer use, you have get a license. I have a no code license and use repeaters (autopatch) all around the sountern cali area (free). There are "open" repeaters all over the country. There are some in mex also. Also, if you are planning on taking a course for your license, I would not recommed it. They are expensive and you can just purchase the books and study yourself. I paid $6.25 for taking my test and about $12 on books. Good luck. BRAAAAAAAAP! [/QUOTE]
