Batboard

i've noticed that with many of the non-moto companies, someone pointed out Thales Communiciatons, looks like a decent radio with Saber Connectors on it, quite interesting, would have liked to see jedi connectors, but...

anyway, tangent...

i've seen many companies producing VHF only p25 offerings, but no UHF, anyone know why?

Because the federal government and the forestry service are big customers.

Beyond that... VHF is still the "king" of the bands. You will find more liceneses there than UHF. Generally speaking. If you notice, many radios tend to be offered in VHF, then you see them in U and/or 8. Just something that I have noticed as well.
