Thanks for all of the info. I was asking because I was looking for a
less expensive alternative than buying a Motorola HT-1250 or similiar
radio. I guess the brain wasn't fully engaged when thinking about
using a Ham rig and modifying same. I just need to suck it up and
purchase the appropriate radio. Anyone have knowledge of the handhelds
offered on eBay? Several manufacturers are Weierwei, Linton, Jintong.
