Most people are running Baofeng's, some of the hams are running better gear (Motorola APX's or some flavor of Kenwood). That being said, I have been using a Anytone 878UVII Plus that I programmed, but am looking for something a bit more robust/duable. I have a NX-5700/5800 dual deck single head setup in my truck, which I use for drone responses, but am looking for a nice part 90 handheld for my ground team... Read more View article »

And no acceptance. 1) does anyone have any insight into the group and can get me access lol? 2) any other sources for this ancient software? Thanks View article »

The Pi and screen are mounted in a compact case and the connection to the scanner is via USB. The remote head is for display and control only -- it does... Read more View article »
