My call Sign: WRDF470 I wonder what you guys will get, its evidently sequential order on call signs.

Did you get that right when you registered? Or did they send it later?

it showed up the next day on the FCC license site.

looks like there is an open repeater here on little mountain near me, wonder if I could use it to talk to you on the other side of the pond tripp?

I see Daystar is marketing some units as well. They are high though.

I'm just going to wait for all of you to find radios that you like then just copy that.

That's exactly what I am planning to do. Let the dust settle and buy one time.

This just seems like false advertising. It looks like like a Baofeng UV-5R, but its supposedly "made in the USA"?

I created a thread regarding operating frequencies that we will be using at Oscar and moving forward in the future.

Great deal on the 25 watt mobile radios we ran this weekend in a couple Rigs.

I can program these easily.

Good price for the Kenwoods. Do they use the same programming cable as the Kenwood HT?

If I were to get one of these what else is required to make it work and would you recommend it for an open top vehicle?
