I not sure Diamond was $60 or so.
I’m down in Hocking hills, Ohio and that little radio is our only comms point out of here because cell service down here in Logan and Hocking county is not the greatest

I helped set up a phone patch for an Asheville resident Saturday morning.
Using the Intercon as a setup point and directed the stations to move off net frequency a bit to have their welfare conversation.
It worked! The party found a nearby local to Asheville, and the traffic was passed.
