There was such a good discussion going on here - did everyone meet FTF and share "looksees"?
We don't full time, There is of course a 2m/440 Yaesu in the TV that stays parked on .52 on one side and whatever 440 repeater is close on the other, or balanced off. If I take HF with us, it's in the form of low power and a buddipole, and does not usually get set up, too much relaxation going on. I have the DStar and the DMR and the hotspots - I am not such a fan, nothing, IMO, beats a nice rich analog conversation, or digging out a weak signal SSB contact with success. But, that's just me. To each their own.
