I have been tasked with researching what is needed for a non profit organization that is involved in Wilderness Search and Rescue within our County.
Right now, we have a frequency of 155.1 but have not yet applied for a second freq. It will have to be in the Public Safety Range for VHF. We are looking to outfit a Mobile Command unit and need a 50 watt repeater that will work inside a mobile command without having to run a huge generator just to run the repeater. Ideally, we would get a Duplexer as we don't usually have room to place 2 antennas. We are kind of looking at the Motorola GR1225 repeater but would like to get opinions on this radio and any others that you can suggest. Is a 16 channel unit overkill for what we need? Thanks Ray
