I have a old icom ic-28a that I have had since the 1990's. This was clipped for the various Vol. fire departments that I worked around as a Paramedic at the time so if I was in my POV and came across something I could call it in (think before everyone had a cell phone). I have not fired it up yet to besure if it still works but was thinking if it does would this be an option for my Jeep and a VHF rig for local repeater use now?
