How long would you last?

The Bearcat and Eton are just about OK budget radio's, the Eton range are often rebadged Grundig. You really do need to broaden your comms horizons... your setup will leave you peeing into the wind and getting nowhere very fast IMHO if and when it hits the fan. Amateures have a place they really need to go at least semi pro to get results.

The LI often went around obstacles lol so at least I can now see your background and have more insight into your somewhat blinkered view.

This seems to be your forum, so I'll go quiet for a bit and see if others can add to this and other threads apart from your view.
