I am looking to replace our old VHF radio's that fail to work in our large machine shop since narrow banding.
Our local comms vender is letting me demo a pair of Kenwood nx340u UFH radio's. I am amazed how well they are working in digital mode, as far as performance they are working perfectly compared to the existing narrowband Motorola's and they even work better than the old wide band radio's I still have in the drawer, "Not that would ever key one up to test or anything
"
I am curious if there is anything I should know about Digital radio's before I get in to deep? any reason to avoid them? other than getting stuck into the Nexedge format
The other question that I know will be hard to answer, our vender is recommending the UHF radio which will require a $600 (quoted) license modification, I am not sure why he would not just recommend the Kenwood VHF digital radio to save us money, will UHF work better in a large industrial building full of all kinds of frequency noise and no direct line of site (CNC machines, arc welders, Robots, etc)
