Borrow a Handheld HAM at ROTP?
11/05/8 at 11:26:25

I have volunteered to be in charge of the Iron Bridge Spectator location this year. I only have a mobile for my car and not a handheld. I would really like to be in touch with the Stage Commander and those running the stage.

I was wondering if anyone has a 2m handheld that they would be willing to lend me for Friday and Saturday or Saturday only?

FYI...

Don't know the seller.

And you might have some trouble sourcing replacement batteries if needed.

Found some replacement battery cell inserts at Batteries America...

And if your budget is a little higher...

With a decent extra antenna. And new enough you can find parts for it.

Anything over $150 and you might as well buy new.
