[DARARepeater] ***SPAM*** Re: Seeking suggestion for a FRS radio

[Jim Bacher, WB8VSU]

The key word is "general public". I doubt a golf course would qualify as 
"general public".

Some of the communications companies allow customers to use their assigned 
frequencies. Basically rent air time. That way one can avoid the license 
maintenance. They make use of repeaters, so there is good coverage.
