I’m new myself but I have heard that it’s good to have a system like, if your call sign is ADCD123, you can give the call sign and your wife can respond with ABCD123Alpha. Or Bravo, etc.
But I’m learning too. So I’m monitoring this thread.
I was thinking very favorably about getting one of these recently. I mean, they seem super easy to program and fairly easy to use. GMRS and ham compatible… but something kept me reserved. I’m glad you told us this.
I appreciate that! I had read a review where a guy said he used it on his Alinco and it really helped. If it doesn’t work on my Alinco I’ll throw it on my Yaesu.
That brings back memories! Dang near every phone in my grandma’s house was rotary. And my other grandma had the regular dial phone with the mile long cord so you could go anywhere in the house on it.
I have a Yaesu and so far I have neither needed nor wanted another ham radio. So, if the Alinco is about the same build and quality I’m sold.
I really appreciate the review. There’s not much about it out there. I’d love to read some longevity reviews about it.
