DMR Handset for sale?
Does anyone have a DMR handset that they would like to sell? I thought I'd try DMR, but I don't want to spend a lot on yet another radio.

July Meeting date?
The snovarc.org shows that the July meeting is on July 4th. I assume that it won't be unless there is something special going on. Has there been another date set?
