Orin, I am not that familiar with the various types of Ham Radios yet. I have to contact the local radio club to start learning what I need to do to get started. As for the band....
probably the most commonly used by RVers to start.
My main issue is exactly how to mount an antenna (ham, scanner or cb) on this particular vehicle. Most newer vehicles do not accommodate after market equipment very well. My new truck has a massive center consul that eliminates any extra space for a radio. And all I gained was four cup holders! SHEESH! As for an outside antenna (except a mag mount) there's really no good spot to mount one. The outside mirrors are square plastic, not round stainless steel like the old days.
