Got
an email from a mid-western farmer with a comment along the following lines: Hey
Burch - We just narrow banded our UHF radio system and lost half our portable
range. What do we do now?
As
most of our readers know, we recently made the world aware of a terrible plague
that is sweeping the heartland of the USA called brevisfasciasyndroma. You can read more about it by clicking here. Fortunately, we found a cure which involves
a number of different treatments. One
of those remedies is to increase the efficiency of portable antennas.
Unfortunately, we could not use our premier solution for our farmer
friend since it is currently available only for VHF users. As it turns out, our friend could not use
VHF radios since VHF radio harmonics can cause serious problems with GPS (Click
here for
more information). So, we had to come
up with a solution
Actually, we came up with two solutions. The first was to replace existing antennas with antennas capable
of doubling performance. Additional
information is available by clicking here. Another sensible solution was to simply replace the analog
portables (he only had four) with digital portables. At a cost of only $499 including a five year warranty, the
digital portables would be ideal for direct portable-to-portable communications
while still being able to operate in the analog through his repeater and
mobiles. Additional information is
available by clicking here. And for first time purchasers, we are
offering an instant rebate of $100 which lower your net cost per radio to just $399!
Simple
solutions for serious situations is what we are all about. Can we be of service to YOU? Just give us a call at 800.489.2611 or email
