keydown is a competition between two stations,and radiogate or videogate is
a recording of far,far,far away station.

A videogate is a video recording of a conversation between any two or more stations that can be posted on the internet. It can be done by one of the people in that videogate - or even by someone that is listening to others conversations. GO to Google and then YouTube and then punch in "videogates". All kinds of 'em, even some by forum members too.

Check out 4040, fortymobile, toker kid, and others...

15-25 miles is the normal distance for the watergate. When they are only keying from 20 ft apart and doing 400-60,000 watts in these keydowns these competitors normally bring a few radios with them. If these mobiles don't unkey at exactly the same time, radios will be blown.

Not if at least one of those morons have a manual disconnect on the receive side of the last amp inline.

A bunch of drug dealing money goes into these mobiles, burned up radios and 2879s are just the cost of doing business.
