My Comms let me down

[Lightspeed]

Hi Charles,

Sadly there is nothing that's legal and unlicensed that matches the MURS radios that you have over there.

I agree that the big name brand ham radio gear is better constructed than the Chinese stuff, but its a whole lot more expensive, so tends to put off most people looking at coms for the first time.

Interestingly the filters on my main Yesu rig failed a few months ago due to component failure. But some Chinese handhelds that are older, are still doing their thing without any problem at all.

So not always does better made equate to more reliable and long lived.
