Title: Video, Joe Fox on a radio "kit" w/repeater
Post by: TWP on February 16, 2017, 10:52:53 AM
A non-technical "show and tell" on a kit with four Baofeng hand-held transceivers, repeater package and installation tools.

No matter if you have a negative opinion of the Baofeng products, this is a good general introduction to WHY you might need a kit similar to this.

The video is just over 25 minutes, 155+ MB if you want to download it.

The Baofeng units will operate in the FRS and MURS frequency ranges, (non-ham bands) in case you need to do comms with non-hams (I are one of those).

Do watch the video.  PJF explains the reasons why his group needs a repeater (geographic locations of his group).  He also discusses why prepper groups are a good idea.

[edit] FYI the kit being shown runs for US $949-969,  So be serious about your needs vs resources...
