I am curious what people are using for a vhf fm rig?
I do not want to spend a lot on a rig used just for Vara FM.
I use to use Allinco vhf radios with the din plug on the rear.
Is that usable with VARA FM and does anyone sell the cable for the back of the radio?
Thanks

I'm using inexpensive older Yaesu FT-1500 2m radios. I've picked up a couple of these from folks that previously used them for APRS Digis or Packet work. Digirig.net sells the Digirig interface and appropriate 6-pin Mini-Din cables. Be sure to get the 9600-baud version of the cable to enable maximum throughput. Many older Yaesu 2m/440 rigs have the 6-pin Mini-Din port and I'm sure other brands do as well. I've had good luck buying used rigs for this application.
