    Yeah, next round of upgrades includes: Discone antenna. Installing one of two new discones that I have for testing. This will be a temporary installation, as I am expecting to move house later this year. Also a couple of 1200 MHz Yagis. One will be used for ATV, might install the other one for 1200 MHz SSB, eventually. I've also bought a couple of RTL-SDRv3 dongles. These are just useful to have around. :)

    Currently, I have a good setup for digital voice - DMR, Fusion and D-STAR, and I've done other upgrades to my main station on VHF/UHF. HF won't be upgraded until after the house move. :)

    called Lake Linden, Michigan with 1,007 people, 481 households. I'm looking
    for a round 200 acres with buildings or have built. Hunting, fishing and
