Are we sure that a system set up for 9600 will accept narrow band? I note that many of the Seattle frequencies separate the two. I wonder if that’s because 9600 is not downward compatible with

Hi all, I'm planning on mounting my GP6 on the highest point on my house, the top of the chimney. As I evaluated the placement I realized that the top of the chimney is surrounded by ember protection

I keep my SLA (sealed lead acid ) batteries fully charged. The ones not in active use get topped up once a month. All my HT’s work on LIPO batteries. In theory the battery life is shortened when

Spell check got me there. LFP batteries are also known as LiFe and (more correctly) LiFePo (Lithium Iron Phosphate). Mark

For radios, the LFP (Life, Lithium Iron Phosphate) have the best characteristics. Most of the RC hobby batteries are LiPo (Lithium Polymer). LiPo batteries do not like to be stored charged and lose
