As I dont have a good grasp of all new models of radios available, I thought it quickest to use the membership's knowledge ...<br>
I am looking for a 2m/70cm radio that will operate as a cross band repeater/translator or whatever is the correct term...<br>
Would need to have about 50 watt TX. capability.<br>
Also, NOT one of the cheapie Chinese etc. boxes. Needs good specs.<br>
<br>
Any ideas appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Paul Whitaker.<br>
