RANGR = one of GE's 'replacement' for the MASTR line ( $.05
answer)
It is programmable; typically as 16-32 channels, sometimes
64 or more; problem being that they were 'intended' for
simplex (ie PTT) ops -- single VCO, if you will. Duplex ops
pretty-much means using 2 radios.
Heatsink isn't especially beefy either. Overall, wouldn't
be *my* choice.
Then, of course -- duplexers and frequency hopping creates
another set of issues... not to say there aren't solutions;
(separate antennas & LOTS of vertical separation...) much
food for thought & experimentation. ;-)
