Cool, we can monitor simplex & the repeater at the same time - good call

Wow! That's a lot of $$ for a dual bander, why's it so expensive?

Sounds good to me as long as everyone has dual band radios. We might want to pick a 2m simplex instead.

Slightly on topic, Shane, MountainMan, (or others), I've replaced my Fjammer with a 1 din HU, would any of these models you listed fit in the other 1 din slot?? Just a thought...

MountainMan · 01-25-2008, 03:41 PM

um, good question... :|

custom job but yes, the 7800 is less then 1din tall, most of the radios (mid-range +) now all have remote mount faces, makes for mounting them easier
