So I recently joined my local Fire Department. Haven’t been able to run any calls yet but have followed along on my scaner. Seen a few guys have their own personal radios and thought about getting one. Always been interested in radios and stuff but never really looked at the technical side. What should I look for? I would perfer somthing that I most likely would never have to replace, durable, and be able to pick up civil as well as military frequencies. (Bonus if it’s milsurp) my budget is around $300 but any suggestions appreciated.
