No one has mentioned MURS. What is it....2 W or 5W. out or so? With decent
antennas, a couple of watts out on 150 mhz will go aways. Heck, RatShak has
some mobile MURS for what....$40 or so? Don't know about licensing
requirements....google for MURS and license and see what comes up.

Of course, if you get the radio itch, DO study and take the amateur exam, and
we'll welcome you to the hobby (well, at least most of us!) Fun hobby with
benefits to the community, esp. when comms are most needed.

19-1206 (portable) and 19-1210 (mobile) have been discontinued and
are in real short supply. Good luck finding them.
