I am a volunteer firefighter and also a ham. I am looking to find a radio that can take the place of my Minitor V but also let me talk on VHF ham bands.
Ultimately I need something that can transmit on the entirety of the VHF Ham band, and 45 channels (3 zones and 15 channels should work fine).
I want the ability to monitor 2 channels, simultaneously.
Essentially I want to be able to program a channel to work as a pager for when I am sleeping or at work, but also be able to monitor the local ham repeater. In the event that I am on one of the ham channels, I would still like to receive 2 tone alerts from the department, however. Does anybody know if this is possible?
