digest, Vol 1 #40 - 1 msgHowdy John!Not sure IF this is what you are looking
for but feel free to check out the Bucks County ARES web site's "ARESWEAR"
section. I spent some time(and my OWN) money having several of these items
fabricated for our ARES Team. I decided to make the information available to
ANYONE who was interested in ARES-RACES ID products. FYI, according to Jim,
the magnetic vehicle signs can be REVISED for your particular Team. Check

[Ares-races] government purchased amateur radio equipmentWith due respect,
their has to be some permanently installed equipment whereAmateur stations
are be planned to be used to assist getting on air asquickly as possible,
i.e. antenna systems. If these aren't inspectedperiodically, the
"throw-down" approach is as susceptible as permanentlyinstalled stations.
What ever approach an ARES or RACES group uses, it'scritical that some one
takes on the responsibility of regular inspection ofany equipment
permanently installed for use by AR. Besides the obviousneed, it will go a
long way to demonstrate your groups commitment and desireto work in a
professional manner. A locking file cabinet goes a

to be placedat operating positions.--73Doug, [email protected]

msgs:: Generally, I am opposed to government purchased amateur radio
equipment.My opposition is because it gets purchased, installed, and briefly
used.Following an initial period, first the manuals get lost, then the
equipmentstops working, and no one seems to ever get around to getting it
repaired.When the hams show up to use it, it doesn't work.:: In my
experience, it is much better for individual hams to bring in theirown gear
for several reasons. First, they are very familiar with it.Second, it
probably works, because it gets used very often, :: If they must, let
government spend our tax money on their dedicated,proprietary trunking
systems. When they quit working, hams can show up andbring in our throw-down
gear that works.:: KK5CA: DEC, Harris County Texas:: : >>county. It
