Hello from the UK
I have recently bought 2 MTS2000 flashports on VHF, simplex
I have yet to use them in operational mode, I would just like any comments or feedback
on these radios, They are the type with the kekpad
at the moment they have 12 (Uk Gen) simplex freqs.
does any one know what the ERP of these radios are ??
and what sort of distance am I to get out of them ( back to back )
NB: when I key up the PTT the RF turns on the two security lights in the back yard
(PIR activated types)
thank for your time and help

Here's a spec sheet (.pdf) from moto: It appears the VHF MTS2k is 5 watts.

The range depends on a bunch of factors but will probably be much less than you hope. In most cases, range will be a few miles or less. Without a repeater or height, simplex HT's just don't get out.
