To Terry Fox Run radio participants,
For those of you that have a a mobile radio that has the capability of Cross Band Repeat, this is an excellent event where you can practice this. This feature when used gives you the capability to operate outside the vehicle with a handy talkie. Especially when you need to step away from the vehicle to attend to an emergency nearby. For the first times with Cross Band Repeat, set up the radio so that it will operate on the UHF side with power equal to the handy talkie while the UHF side will operate at anything near 10 watts on the VHF side. Try it out if you have not to see how well it works for you.
See you all in the morning at the event.
Cheers
