There's no reason why Ch. 19 can't be the National Truckers' channel. The truckers can choose whatever channel they want, and there is no reason why Ch. 20 can not remain as the National Highway Travel/Calling Channel.
In my opinion the travel channel should be CSQ on receive but if a tone has to be associated with this channel, 141.3 should be the National Travel Tone, just keep the receive side CSQ.
No reason except for Line A

I never heard of this. Designated by who?

Most of the digital voice modes are on UHF.
Per varying modes maybe, but DMR seems to be extremely popular on VHF

Right: Nobody is in the business of losing money!
FedEx not delivering today as the truck is not full is a "direct" consequence of "free shipping with any order of $49 or more ..." schemes.
What does that have to do with my $2500 shipment that the shipper paid $105 for Next Day delivery taking a week waiting for a full truck?

Clearly you have chosen good stuff that people are having success with.

I always check the reviews on eham.net by equipment owners. You can get a pretty good idea of what those who have the particular model think of it.

Funny that you should mention the SRH320A ... I use it on my Kenwood TH6A.

LOL! The quote was in reference to explosives, detonators and wiring mainly, diving gear essentials, AND radios, both satellite and individual comms. For weapons, they carry more than one, sometimes three, depending on duties (team sniper etc.).
But no Jennings or Lorcins

I had to think about it for a minute, but I have that antenna and have used it on all 3 bands with a UV5X3 with success. On top of a 14 story building I was able to hit a repeater 23 miles away very clearly.
It's a bit long and unwieldy, but that is a trade off for all 3 bands. I only use it when I know I am going to use 1.25m

Ham radios aren't the great emergency radios seen on TV and in movies, just like it's unlikely to be able to shoot from the hip and kill all your enemies with one shot everytime. Propagation varies from various parts of the 11 year susnspot cycle to another, seasonally winter/summer, day to night and even minute to minute. The unpredictiblity is what makes it interesting, challenging and makes it into sport.
Like WRQC527 says, it's tricky (but fun).

I think the previous answers have been accurate. I would add, reception of weaker stations (regardless of whether the other party was farther away, using less power or a poorer antenna) is CLEARER on radios with better and more expensive receiver components.
My experience is based on Kenwood vs Baofeng. I still use the Baofeng on occaison, as many posted above, it has its place.

Height = farz. In my opinion, 40 isn't very likely unless you can get up 300 400 ft.

Me too. I'm still disappointed.
