I have been toying with a few different options for communications. A cb is ok for a group that is within a close range, but you lack the ability to utilize the comercial fq's. An icom is great but if you have the f121 like the majority of us do, then you realize the shortcomings it has in being able to field program the radio.
I got together with a friend of mine that has an electrical engineering background, and we have been "brainstorming" Now mind you, this is only a prelimanary drawing of what we have in mind. Let me know what you guys think.
