That is a real stretch...these things are to be used for incidents that require them...how many many high rise building fires do you have in your town...think you can live with a little interference every 20 yrs.

Actually, DPL/PL doesn't help. It only signals to the receiver when to open squelch is all. If someone is transmitting and this thing decides to transmit at the same time, you'll get an earful of noise, PL or not. -Brian On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 3:02 PM, WA3GIN <wa3...@comcast.net> wrote: What?
