I have a 605TQ that I sometimes run cross-band during emergency services
events... that way I can use a VX-5 on it's lowest power setting (to
extend battery life) remotely to the car, and it works great. Very simple
to setup.. just set the VFO's for the desired freq's... power
down... then power up while depressing the "primary" VFO button. Only for
70cm to 2m, or vice versa. The 605 will go out of band... but not a good
idea to do so, as it is not type accepted for that kind of use. I also
would not recommend it for continuos duty. They 605 gets pretty warm in
heavy use... fans might solve the heat issue. But I think 2 Moto's and a
R.I.C.K. would be a much better choice for dependability.
What, exactly, did you have in mind?
