[GCARC] Loaner Radio?

[Vinnie Sallustio]

Jerry,

There is an 8W baofeng that has an extended battery. About $40 on eBay.

Vinnie.

The bigger Diamond antenna is superior to the default antenna. That is likely the best alternative. More power means less battery.

This morning I volunteered for the MSS city to shore bike run and had a
good time but my Baofeng HT apparently doesn't reach the repeater from my
location.  I was able to call in on simplex for some reports but was not
part of the normal net.  Is there anyone who happens to have a radio they
could spare for me to use tomorrow?  I could pick it up sometime today if
you wouldn't mind.  Apparently I'd need something bigger than 5W.  Thank
you in advance and have a great weekend.
