I'm in w/ a P25 Portable only.

Flying in on Thursday.

I'll be there Fri & Sat. Will have UHF P25.

I'm in along with a few others. U or V P25, I'm good for both.

I'll be there camping in the lot out back. There's a great UHF IMBE repeater up there. GARY N4KVE

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.

Marshall

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.

I had a great time, & the weather was great. Met a few nice guys from the board here, & saw old friends. Picked up a few great deals too. GARY N4KVE

Highlights of this years deals ?

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.
