<p>Thanks Don, this is a good summary. <br>
</p>
<p>We also have a couple of repeaters fitted with crossband link
radios. One is a VHF repeater with UHF link radio, the other is a
UHF repeater with VHF link radio. These are useful for various
purposes, an obvious one being off-air linking between sites.
Another use is where it is necessary to have separate nets on the
same band but without mutual interference. Solution: set up the
repeater a little distance away from AWI and use the link
frequency to connect to AWI. <br>
</p>
<p>I have updated the spreadsheet I developed some years ago,
attached. This looks at how various comms modes stack up against
what I believe are some important criteria for a good emergency
comms system, and complements the analysis in your spreadsheet. <br>
</p>
<p>Looking forward to tonight's discussion. <br>
</p>
<p>Cheers, John <br>
