HRN 550: Everybody Wants a Handheld (and why they shouldn't)

Description

In both Ham Radio and GMRS, there's no doubt, almost everyone starts out with a handheld radio. After making basically the same points about that - over and over - while answering questions in multiple Facebook and Reddit forums, HamRadioNow East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ/WRPG652 wrote an essay in his QLog blog on the HRN website. Now he can just link to the essay and go on with his dayšŸ˜‰ (that has actually worked, and he’s had a few positive responses. Go figure).

And now it's a podcast episode. Even better, because West Coast Host David W0DHG adds his experience on the topic. And we tried very hard to stick to the subject and not ramble.
