hi folks,
I am wondering if anyone is able to sell me or suggest to me a suitable setup around how I might setup an RT like setup in similar fashion to that of the police in the USA.
we are a group of vehicle collectors who have an interest in restoring ex-USA police vehicles which we import from the US and then after restoring them we take them to motor/motorcycle shows and charity events raising funds for to support the families of those who have paid the ultimate price in the line of service.
Obviously in attending these shows and charity events, it makes for far better authenticity for all participating ‘officers’ to be in uniform, including RT units, and we have been extremely fortunate in that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) have been extremely helpful with the provision of uniform items, but clearly there are items which they are not permitted to pass on to the public an/or items which would simply not work in the UK when they are designed for the US. Having said that, in terms of the RT side, as long as it works across our group, it is not necessary to have any compatibility beyond that, as long as it does not contravene any local frequencies etc.
Ideally, we’d like to setup an RT config, most likely using Autocom, as we are not going to be anywhere near the realms of repeaters etc. And this setup would allow ’officers’ to be able to communicate whilst riding/driving as well as and with ‘officers’ who are on foot and using their handheld units.
This is maybe too much or too complex to as for, but I thought I would at least ask if there is any help/guidance/sale items out there that could support our needs.
many thanks!
