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".

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 :)

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.

Dave

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).

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....

705 461 951 ask for Suite 215
