Stripped-down Nextel-like HT's? Well, at least intriguing.
« on: February 06, 2025, 2002 UTC »
https://rapidradios.com/?view=abconvert-index-WU8xc6vs   I've heard about these advertised on C2C AM, and I've had friends ask me just how would these work? My guess was right, they won't work in a totally dead cell area. There are like a stripped-down version of how Nextel made their cell flip-phones with that Walkie-Talkie function. That said, they do seem to offer a VHF / UHF HT.  https://rapidradios.com/products/my-emergency-radio-emergency-vhf-uhf-radio  Doesn't seem to be much INFO on these, but must be like Beofangs? (Speculating here...) Still, intriguing...

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
