Product Overview
Getting the Most from your Handheld Transceiver
Modern technology has allowed manufacturers to pack a wealth of features into handheld transceivers. With so many features, however, it isn t always easy to get the full benefit from your investment. Even the user manuals don t tell the whole story. Your radio may have hidden capabilities that aren t described in the manual at all. For example, did you know that a dual-band 2-meter/70 cm handheld transceiver can be used to communicate through Amateur Radio satellites? It s true, but you usually won t see this discussion in your average user manual.
If you own a handheld transceiver, or if you re trying to decide which transceiver to buy, Radios to Go! is the essential guide.
