I will be there both days. Orlando is a great show.

I will use the 442.075 repeater IMBE standard NAC or the repeater talk-around.
Also some local use on 446.025 IMBE standard NAC for simplex use.

I will have VHF P25, UHF P25. If anyone is interested in playing 900 amateur there will be some of that there also.

For those wanting to play 900, there is a machine about 3-4 miles away on 927.5375 / 902.5375 PL 100.0. Noise on the receive limits uplink range a bit but should work fine on the Hamfest grounds.

There Friday and Saturday. Name the mode/frequency, I will be there.

Anyone looking for a 10/10 Q split XTS5000 with all the bells and whistles? It will be at my table with a few other goodies.

I'm looking for any VHF Mobile Radio equipment and portables.

I will consider UHF too but since I'm flying down and all that I'm limited what I can take back so I will have to be more selective what I take back with me.

Any VHF P25 activity going to be goin on?

I like this...I will program it in before I leave later today.
442.075 will be on as I get into radio range.

I'll be there today and tomorrow on 446.025 simplex and monitoring both the 900mhz repeaters.

Maybe will get to eyeball QSO some of you guys.

Brand new TTP mike for the MCS2000 for $10. That P1755A power cord for the suitcase AVA which goes for $90, was $10, in mint condition. Good food, & good friends too. Oh, and the guys at the end of the road outside next to Steve & Kurt [900 repeater guys] had a nice UHF XTS3000 "RDH" with all matching tags & a nice F/C, charger & 2 batteries. My friend got that for $300. GARY N4KVE

I wasn't able to catch up with anyone and I did throw my call out a few times on the simplex freq., but no one responded. :-( Other than that had some good conversations, a nice quiet FRC meeting, and a nice chat with the guy from Yaesu about their new offering. He did say to hold tight until Dayton which is when he expects the release of the FDMA portable.
