Title: Reason for two radios
Post by: clint on Apr 20, 05, 09:39:42 AM
So here is why, it's important to have a back up frequncy available. Last night from commute time until 11:00 when I stopped checking, the Table Mt. 2 meter repeater was down.

The 220 was up and working fine!

Is that because mosquitos prefer the 220 band? :)

I was hoping that the Yaesu 2m included a miller moth repeller.

We've already got some of those pests flying around.

Now if I can just find a radio with a smart ass repellent I'll be all set!

Then you wouldn't have had any students in class.

Well, maybe except for Mike!

Oh, Mike has the SA gene. He's just quiet about it.
