Interesting to know, but I'm not likely to be a US citizen, at least not for a
while!
DP> ...The best one is the Alinco DJ-G5...
I'll have to keep an eye out for that one.

At 350mW and with a typical HT antenna, how close would you say you have to be
to the repeater?
DP> Have fun, whatever you do.
Thanks!
Regards,
- Andy.
