<DIV>For those looking for an inexpensive 2 meter HT for use around campus, I
see the Alinco DJ175T on-line for about $95. That's a pretty good price
for a several watt HT with a DTMF keypad and CTCSS encoding. </DIV>

<DIV>I'm not a huge fan of Alinco, although I have a couple of their mobile
transceivers, but several have asked me recently about low cost ways of getting
on the K4RY repeater. This is one way. Those who wish to spend a
little more I believe can find similar Yaesu, Kenwood and Icom units for in the
US$120 to US$150 range. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you do a Google search on "DJ175T", I'm sure you will find several
vendors who carry this radio to compare their prices and shipping costs.
