Our Chaplain Response group in 5 states always takes our own communications equipment into natural disaster response areas because cell service can be spotty at best after Tropical Storms, Hurricanes and Tornadoes.
We rely on Kenwood equipment exclusively, using TK880-1, TK880H-1, TK863G-1 and a recent purchase of a TK8180-1. Portables are also Kenwood, using TK370 and TK380 units. All of our team members are individually licensed for GMRS and our team is also licensed commercially using two Part 90 UHF Itinerant channels as backup.
Regarding the TK8180 - this was a very recent addition to our radio inventory. Programming is just as easy as the slightly older radios and with 30 watt output, it does a very good job for our team. Is anyone here using the TK8180 as well and if so, what are your experiences with this model?
Thanks -
