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.
