That's easy. Better written software.

Sounds like a good idea on the surface, but the lack of VFO mode IMO
severely limits its usefulness in an emergency. What
I agree with Ron. You'll never get them trained.
They solved the problem in our County HazMat truck by installing commercial
two-way radios programmed to the area repeaters. You simply dial to the
proper channel and the frequency and PL is programmed in and can't be messed
up.

Having the same rig for all would be nice. In an EOC this is possible.
However, the value of Ham Radio to a community is the Hams have a supply of
radios they bought, maintain and learn to use. Can one see the vast cost if
say 50 Hams/people had to be supplied equipment at gov expense. Would
Yep. I've been a ham for a fairly long time (mid 70's). I usually have to
dig out the manual to program my own rigs every time I want to change
something. I can't imagine trying to remember how to program someone else's
radio.

Hi Guys:
Does anyone in Ontario need about 80 feet of Andrews VXL7-50
Heliax? I have 2x L7TDF (7/16 DIN female) connectors as well.
I know it's a short run of such a large cable, but I need
to move this out (taking up too much room!). I might have
some N female connectors as well.
Please reply
Anyone know where to find the programming software for a MASTR-IIe or
a MASTR-III?

Nate,
DSP is ICs and software. Of course anyone spending the high money to replace
an 8880 is somewhat in the dark for most applications.
DSP is much more suitable and cost effective in more difficult things than DTMF
decoding and encoding.

Ya, you CAN program 100 or more repeaters into most current commercial rigs,
and alpha tag them as well.

OK, that will work. Then again, many amateur transceivers have a
simpleton mode that only allows volume, squelch memory channel
adjustment. Might be a cheaper more flexible solution since the radio
can still be easily reprogrammed by anyone who does know the radio.
