I have a set of radio to witch I think I need a license for they have the removable anatna, they are motorola GTX its a 900 MHZ(I think it's MHZ, idr....)
As far as mode usage as it pertains to emergency communications, are you strictly FM? The extra transmission distance utilizing SSB can really benefit a lower power station and the loud audio quality and relative security of P25 has proven useful in many RACES and ARES service events.
You should host a week of "training" for licensing and get everyone tested at the end... it works!
Amateur radio isn't for everyone, but everyone looks to us during times of need.
Our HAM system (both 2 meter and 6 meter) are operated on laptop "type" batteries and will be able to last 36 hours of continual usage before having to be recharged. All of my GMRS radios have rechargeable batteries that I can recharge with a solar recharging unit, or a DC converter attached to a car.
The HAM units will allow communication well outside of the effected area.
Again, you have my gratitude for posting portions of your lectures. Any chance of getting the entire lecture series on DVD? Youtube's 10 minute limit is annoying!
Pretty well done. It's a big subject to cover in a half-hour.
It would be nice to know what you intend to communicate with the system, what types of power do you use (generator? UPS? battery bank?) Any plans to communicate outside the locally affected area? If so, how?
Again, thanks for posting it. I am not LDS, but I am learning a lot.

I fairly sure they are, are sure? They get about a mile of actual range but these radio are selling on ebay for 90 each used, so they arent cheap.
