Well, maybe I'm too bold, but I consider it as a sort of permission to post some more stuff on this topic. I need to have a reliable link between: 1) My car and home. Radio is more convenient than cellular phone for me. The distance could be 50 - 75 miles (up to 100, I'd say), the area has a lot of hills. 2) The common CB connection. I'd like to be able to receive usual CB reports on the road (well, like those renown "smokey reports" :-). As well as to broadcast the info I have. 3) Access to the "road SOS channel" - I think it's channel 9, which is constantly monitored by police, so in case of real trouble you can call for help (if you still can call, of course :-). Mostly, that's it. Somewhen ten years ago I played for a while with DX stuff, but it was in other country, and everything (well, except the ether :-) was different. So my "old" knowledge doesn't help a lot. Thanks to everybody who replied to me already with good advices, and to all those who will do that. Thanks for no-flaming. Regards, Uri.
