I've been a ham for 20 years. My first radio was an HT because I didn't own a vehicle. I used it as a base with a large antenna, power supply, speaker, and mic. I used it mobile when I got a vehicle with an external antenna, cig. lighter cord, and speaker mic. They do live up to their name...

10 minutes would certainly be fine. That's much more useable than 3 minutes. Are you sure it's that easy? I thought it was locked into 3 minutes in cross band repeat mode. As I understand it what I'm asking would basically require a mod.: reprogramming, cutting a diode, etc. I was hoping...

Thanks for your response. I do realize it's not a real repeater. However, I've been using my Icom 2340H for nearly 20 years in cross band repeat mode. I try to always set both bands on the 5 watt setting to keep it cool. I've never had any problem with it overheating so far during extended...

I've been considering a new Kenwood TM-V71a dual band mobile. I want a radio that performs well in cross-band repeat mode. This one seems to fill the bill except for one thing. It has a time out timer that shuts it down if it transmits continuously for 3 minutes. I've experienced this with a...

Thanks guys, I check out RT systems. I never expected "all radios" to use the same program across manufacturers. I know that will never happen. That's why I acknowledged in the question they would have to be the same brand. It sure seems like a manufacturer could use the same program for their...

In the interest of keeping things simple it would be nice if all of my VHF/UHF radios: base, mobiles, HT had all the memories programed the same. This adds up to a lot of data with frequency, alpha, tone, etc. I know many radios have programming software and cables so they can be programmed by...

Yaesu FT-530 has this feature. Unless you were talking new radios only.

I need an other mobile dual bander capable of cross band repeat and preferably being remote controlled by DTMF from my handheld. My current Icom 2340 does this. I know the 2350 will also. I think some Kenwood models may have offered this. The TM-33A maybe? I don't think Yaesu ever offered...

I currently have an 18 year old Icom IC-2340H that I like very much. It is ailing and in need of replacement. The new Icom models seem to offer only 1 that does cross band repeat and it doesn't appear to be DTMF remote controllable like my 2340 is. I know the 2350, 2410, and 3220 all had these...

The 208 does not cross band repeat. I just noticed on the AES website that they are claiming the Kenwood TM-V71A, Yaesu FT-8800R, FT-350AR, and Icom 2820H will all be discontinued. I'd love to know what the replacements will be. Maybe I need to wait a while.

My 18 year old Icom 2340H dual bander is in need of replacement. I have zero interest in APRS, GPS, Echolink, etc. I do need a radio that works very well on cross band repeat. I live and work mainly in rural areas so I don't think problems with lots of strong local radio signals will be an...
