before purchasing a Yaesu, have a look at the Kenwood TS480SAT, a radio built for Digital modes , since it does not need an interface between
the rig and the computer. This radio has become the standard for digital rigs in the emergency comms community, since it has the data port, and a cooling system designed for higher power digital. my 2 cents from the great white north John VE5MU From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ted Wager Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 5:02 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Which radio ?
