I am sorry to but in but did they make this in a vhf model by chance (the silver face ones would work better) that way I can use them for some on site portable repeater work for some very small coverage areas like a warehouse? We are running 151/159 range for our set. Thanks Peter Summerhawk

Not fancy or a whole lot of power, but does a real good job in that application. I would not want to try to use one in a high RF environment, but for low level stuff they are pretty good and the price is right.
