Would I basically have a UHF ham band radio that would be legal to transmit with my technician class license & a scanner for other frequencies or a paper weight?įinally received an answer from FCC after going through 3 different persons UHF is banned and a felony to transmit on and also can be configured to go into the 900mhz area and monitor cell transmissions. Another reason I wanted something I could count on. As I said the disaster teams would end up with the MT500's way outdated, but you have to work with what you are given with.
The other prices I have seen tend to run for a used VHF yaesu 2 meter would run me around $200.00 + programming cable and access to computer WI-FI signal iffy during a rainstorm much less a hurricane locally. Would this be able to do that? Without punching in the local 911 frequencies. Here we are both trained as evac shelter managers for Hurricanes so if one should happen prior to our leaving we would like to be able to communicate through Emergency Radio Relay League.

Inherited land from my 3rd cousin who was a ham but I couldn't get his equipment that used tubes and Morse Code only.Īlso since this is coming from my pocket. We will be in the middle of nowhere about a mile off the main road. Where I'm headed has a 30' antenna set-up already that comes with the house and another 30' section in the garage. The UHF is 430-470mhz on this model and there are several public repeaters in the area I will be headed to and also one here about a mile from my house. Personally, I have and prefer Motorola speaker microphones which deliver fantastic audio as well I concur with the other reviews- the audio is fantastic, both reception and transmission. Standard features include adjustable (digitally controlled) squelch, CTCSS/PL and CDCSS/DPL, high and low power (5W/1W VHF and 4W/1W UHF), DTMF auto dial memories, 20 channel memories, and scanning.

These radios are field programmable, meaning that no Motorola RSS/CPS software or cable kits are required. I have one VHF and one UHF radio, and I find them to be pretty rugged and great performers in the amateur bands. This is the type of info I have been able to find on the GP68 īeen very pleased with the GP68 model radios. That was another reason I was looking at the GP68. They posted the board diagram for a while until several people did so.Ĭlick to expand.Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced handheld that I could use just for basic communication between my wife (tests next month finally found something she will agree to do together) Since I will be several counties away from her at times, even out of state. Locally the state has one statewide frequency for disasters which is well publicized and can be used to TX on a modified marine radio. You don't want thousands of public safety radios that can be easly reprogrammed, floating around - it causes problems for homeland security, public safety and will lead to higher prices in radios - since encryption and scrambling ($$$) would then be required! They figure somewhere around $800 a month for 3 people to survive. What I will end up with disability monthly would make you laugh, Social Security Disability at 45 working since I was 11.

I'll be in OH for this the only reason I agreed was to free up a younger more energetic officer from a desk. More money in property management but thats how I ended up disabled.
One department here lost 34 officers because they couldn't afford to live on $26,500.00 a year here. One of the main reasons I left Public Safety. That is one of the more reasonable approaches, be glad to show you thousands (publci safety) that lost their employment in Midwest due to econimic situation, without such a helpful option. are illegal for usage in US - due to the user programmability in land mobile/public safety freqeuncies by end user - see my earlier posting. I believe that these GP68 units, sold on eBay by Far East mfg. This specific issue is even now being discussed within ARES, EMCOMM and ARRL. You situation as described, is not unusual - BUT amateur radio should never be used as a substitute for routine public safety usage.Īs recently as Dayton hamfest in May, the US amateur radio service was warned that such routine usage - could lead to reallocation of our frequencies.
