[CALV-AUXCOMM] AUXCOMM Net 7PM on Thursday

[ERIK Johnson]

If we are planning to set up a cross-band repeat system, I have a mobile and a HT that are supposed to be capable of cross-band repeat. The mobile is a TYT that I have used in my truck and the HT is an iRadio UV-98 clone / variant with 3 VFOs.

73,
Erik - KC3QQD.
