[East_Algoma]

I am opening our security firm shortly , now I think a few of you fellow Ontarians..can help me...Im looking for UHF 2 ways , now do I need a lic...( No repeater ) Id like some kind of Voice Scramble nothing fancy.

I tried my Uniden GMRS in Voice scramble mode...on CH 8 - Zero drop outs, BATT life was a problem ,so thast why I am asking for a decent shop in the South .

PERSONAL NOTE: Im looking for an older scanner ( Pro 34 ) cell mod done , or any Handheld among these lines , also a PRO 97 !! anyone

go TRBO the equipment is not expensive and it supports a version of software encryption (or at least the M products do)

stay away from FRS and similar units, you wont look professional using "toys".

That's a nice radio and cheap, but it's a ham rig and very unlikely type-approved
for business frequency use. I would also wonder how it would stand up to rough
handling.

Why would you specifically need UHF? This raises a whole lot of other questions
such as what is the operating environment (in-building, type of building etc.) and
expected range.

Unless you can find a licence-exempt service, you will need a licence

That would be FRS/GMRS which you've tried and it has its drawbacks/limitations;
and CB (GRS) which is impractical, specially for handhelds.

For any serious venture I would look around for proper equipment, at the most
reasonable cost, but not to cut too many corners. Something like this could
potentially make/break an operation.

Thank you Dave...

I agree...I am seeking , for smaller Antenna size per say....and no one is using 400 - 512 up here.
I wont use a HAM RIG , tho I have been a Ham for 17 yrs now.

As for getting a Lic for a simple Simplex 5 watt , I will not a problem.

I also like UHF better...dunno why always did

Based on the FCC ID from the manufacturer's page (Two Way Radio KG-UVD1) and this PDF of that certification number (http://www.twoway2.com/fcc Certificate.pdf) the radio is indeed part 90 certified for both narrow and wide band FM emissions in the frequency ranges of 136.0 to 174.0 and 406.1 to 470.0 MHz.

Sorry, noticed after posting that the OP is in Canada. I don't see a Canadian certification number for this radio (but it could have one).

What about these? TriSquare - TSX300 - 10 BILLION Channel Digital 2-way Radio - 900MHz long range - eXRS (TM) could you use them their 900mhz TriSquare - TSX300 - 10 BILLION Channel Digital 2-way Radio - 900MHz long range - eXRS (TM)

NOVA - I saw those.....however I have a chance to rent some repeater time with auto patch...so I have to go with Commercial Grade stuff...


Any luck on any OLDER units. ( Pro 34 ) - I wish the Cell mod done...those type of Units...( Hand Held preferred.

Also a Trunking Handheld ...However 400 for used Apco scanner only is a tad high.....Id like one again LOL) But really a BC250i with card would work for me...I pay via INTERACT BANKING....No fee's !!

Anyways Mr Nova , you should call me so we can catch up a bit....
