Title: Message

Good morning,

 

One nice thing about ham radios is that they'll work anywhere while Nextel radios are limited by the local coverage area. If you get way back in the wilderness the Nextel may not function. So I'd be wary of using a Nextel as your only communication device.

 

If you have a "5 mile ham radio" you may be using the FRS or GMRS radios which are technically not ham radios. To use ham radio equipment you need to pass a FCC license exam. This is worth doing as it allows you to use more powerful radios and repeaters, both of which can greatly extend your range.

 

-David

We just recently purchased 5 mile HAM radios, they are terriffic.  If our team had access or the money however, I would like to have the NEXTEL cell/radio combo.  Those 2 way radios reach several cities away.. They may be worth checking into if your team members are willing to purchase their own.  They could use it for personal use for their cell phone, but the 2-WAY is unbeliveable how far it reaches.  Its perfect for horseback SAR personnel.
