Repeaters ( Ham) locations and coverage maps

[The Local Ned]

Thanks guys - as I've said before - I know exactly what I need and want - others may not , and they may be looking into a wideband scanner as a halfway house solution - i.e not wanting to meddle in anything other than CB , but with a desire to receive PMR and other broadcasts in other bands. I will be buying a couple of baofeng 888s as personal comms , and later on a uv-5r as a makeshift prtable/base solution.

I quickly made a wee DOC to give an idea what I mean , please dont knock it - it was done in under 10 mins LoL.

Just had a look at that kenwood - excellent piece of kit there , only downside I see would be relying on it too much - killing it would lose your comms and your mobile scanning capabilities in the one go ?
