Too bad my HT was so badly drained after 45 minutes that I could not push more than static to the repeater. :| Time to upgrade.<br><br>I'm going with the cross-band repeater in the car, I think. <br><br>Time to flex the debit card. Tomorrow I'll run some various kinds of equipment by the list to see if anyone has any feelings on the matter. I'm going for the highest power dual band (2m/70cm) with cross-band repeat. NOAA weather would be a nice plus but not required.<br>
<br>After that is the same setup, I think: dual deep-cycle batteries, battery isolator, 2nd battery tray and dual-band antenna (or whatever is called.. one antenna).<br>
