[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 2108121, member: 4333"] According to the Oklahoma Repeater Society website Excel file, there are 42 UHF repeaters in the OKC zone. Two of those are digital repeaters so they require a particular radio that can operate on that protocol but the others are just regular repeaters with tone codes. I don't get to OKC that often since I moved to Tulsa in 2009. I've never experienced anything like CB on the OKC 2-meter repeaters. Radios have gotten much smaller and the battery packs are better than the old NiCads. You can't go too far wrong with buying one of the Chinese-made radios (TYT, Wouxun, Baofeng) at $50-120 to get back into it. If you like it, then you can choose to buy one of the bigger names (Kenwood, Yaesu, Icom, Alinco). You ought to come up to the Claremore hamfest on March 8-9 to check out the possibilities first-hand. BTW, Radio Shack is long gone from the ham scene. [/QUOTE]
