Greetings, Forgive me if I sound lame. I rely on communications for my life sometimes, and like diving, REDUNDANCY is the key to survival when it comes down to it. I think the KX3 is about as broad range as a thing can get for the price. And as far as monitoring Weather and stuff, I personally use a VHF Marine portable since they are cheap and rugged; a good backup in the boonies, and great for listening to Weather, or having fun next to a fire listening to CB'er type babble. Rubber Duckie 10/4 Out! For emergency response too, VHF Marine is good because its monitored for such more often than not. In a world where like computers, they try to make them to cover every facet of thought, it makes for a confusing and complicated thing and will need updating more often than the hours of usability. Its my opinion the KX3 is well in the ballpark of playing the ballgame its built for. Why make a Hockey Field on top of a Rugby Field and play both games simultaneously? Could be entertaining if enough beers were given away. But would get goofy after a few days of it. My opinion anyway.
Tschus!
