    I transmitted call every minute or so for the past 10 minutes and heard nothing. Guessing the 970 is just a bit too distant for my lilipution Chinese handheld!

    Guessing so. A mobile with a decent antenna may work, but I really couldn't tell you. I know I've talked to a ham in Broomfield over the summer from the parking lot on top of the peak with full signal strength from him and me. Will have to try a linked repeater or me log into your CRA repeater in boulder.

    BTW, just decided on my next radio purchase, after getting an incredible demo at the HRO in Anaheim, CA. Will be the Icom ID-51A. Pricey, but I know I want a D-Star HT with the cool D-RATS software. The amazing thing is the much less capable ID-92 isn't much less - about $65.

    Wow, the ID-51A looks pretty amazing. I could see how the automatic position reply and recorded reply functions could be really useful in an emergency situation.
