Hi!!! My husband and I are brand new to amateur radio. (I've had a GMRS license for about 16 years, for what it's worth!) I'll be studying to get a Technician and General radio license.

After much research, we've decided to get an Elecraft KX2 Transceiver. We'll be using it in the house, and worst case, in the car. The intention is preparedness more than anything else.

We'd like to know what type of antenna(e) would be best suited for these uses!!!

Also, any other accessories that are needed? Not looking for "would be nice" but rather "would be necessary".

Thanks much!!
