 SS> Looking for both mobile for my truck and a base station.

I made my test not too long ago as well.
I bought a Yaesu FT-450D it was a nice beginners Transceiver, and I am happy with it.
If you want to spend a little more, then I have heared good things of the ICOM 7300.
You can also look at eham.net.

I am sure that more experienced HAMs will give you more detailed advice.

Cannot comment much on mobile transceivers.

CU, Ricsi
