threads & radios
Been on vacation, It seems like the 3 threads have finally been pulled together cool,
As for radios the CDM 1550 LS+ seems to search & lock on a site better and faster that the Kenwood & Icom radios, I have several radios 1550LS+, 1250LS+, 1225 & tk 880 radios so I can suggest by experience, look on Ebay for used radios like Item number: 270240524593 this guy listed it as a CDM1550 LS radio where it is a 1550 LS+ (passport) or Item number: 200226375779 or the HT1250LS+ Item number: 300227252052 ( the LS is LTR you need the LS PLUS version for passport trunking) the system dose work well but as quoted there are times the stsyem is busy and you go in to que, and for those who think a scanner will listen to the system, unless you are logged on to the system on one of the 73 sites opps 72 (they took down the stratosphere site in vegas) the systen dose not know anyone is there and the talkgroup will not be broadcast in that area. There is one other drawback if any of the links go down between the sites you dont get anything especially if you roam to a different site. If there are a few members of the group in a particular geographic area San Diego, Sacramento, Phoenix, Yuma, Etc. an alternate (home) should be set up especially if someone is going to try to encourage volunteers or responders etc to join the group but that may cost $$$$
Well it seems like this might work out for the group, any Idea what the group name will be?
