When it comes to radio electronics nothing is impossible as long as you have the funds and the know how. It is really basically manipulating electrons and passing audio from one device to another device. Crossbanding in-band and out-of-band multiple radio devices can be accomplished in several ways, audio tie with a logic controller, voting comparator using COR, console patch, or an interoperability gateway. I've designed several crossband package configurations back in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s and some of them have been written up in various trade magazines. Back in the early 80s, I designed an airborne repeater package using a GE Porta-Mobile II Low-Band Radio and a GE MPD Portable with a Sweet Electronics Logic Controller and put it in an Airplane so two vehicles (car on a VHF Highband Channel and a motorcycle on a Lowband VHF) can directly communicate over 15-20 miles apart in hilly terrain while in motion traveling across the State for a special event. "Some People" not in the know couldn't figure how in the hell I was able to make a Lowband radio talk directly to a Highband radio. My answer to them was "I used the "PFM" technology method. I truly missed those days creating solutions like this to make the impossible possible.

The MXT500 programming software requires Windows 10 or 11 OS.

I actually have been in that station a few times.

I drove by the Station in Carson everyday I was working that was used as Station 51 in both the pilot and the weekly episodes. I don't remember the actual Station Number.

I'm sure the Danish Pebbles guy won't get it! He probably doesn't watch reruns on ME TV

You mean like the cool people that sign-off with "KMG365"?

I believe the Rasberry Pi thing was also used back in the linking days to interface with the Internet.

Emergency Maritime Channel in the Maritime VHF Band is channel 16, also used for safety and common calling, per Part 80 Rules & Regs. The use of channel 16 is regulated by rule and does not require a station or individual license while operating on-board a vessel or in port. No, the use of the Part 80 freqs cannot be used on hiking trails and even for your land yachts.

Huh, is there any possibility that you can explain what you are trying to convey? I'm kinda less than a bright person and I am not a college boy and I barely got my high school diploma and I had to go to summer school to get the diploma. So, what the hell are you trying to say? What regulation are you referring to?

I knew that when I wrote my response, I just didn't convey it correctly. In a rush while I was waiting for my last Physical Therapy session, I counted my multiplication factor of the 4 watts as the number of dBs with my fingers rather than the total dBs. That is what I get for rushing myself and using an android device.

It really makes no difference if the tests are done in the car or building or outside the car of the building insofar as testing the differences. The signal level differences between the two test sample power levels won't be changed by any measurable amount between the two signals. Yes, outside will get you more farz for both power levels. In my case with a difference of between 4 watts and 60 watts, it is still a tad less than 4 dBs and that difference of less than 4 dBs of signal level won't change rather if you are outside or inside. You still need to deal with the signal-to-noise ratio.

The signal level difference between 4 watts to 60 watts is barely a 4 dB increase in signal level. It is my understanding that it takes at least 6 dBs to make any significant difference.

I did a test once between 4 watts and 60 watts with same radios in the same stationary position there was barely any noticeable difference.

You won't be able to measure any difference between the performance of the OEM and after-market antennae. The OEM antenna will do just fine.
