<div>Why do it on 144.39? The spirit of FD is emergency comms, so why not QSY and pretend that all the tall digipeaters were taken out by a disaster?.... and using the d700s are mobile digipeaters is great! We were able to fill in coverage of a motocross race by seeing the point on the track that we lost the gps tracker and parking a car with a d700 in it in that vicinity. Worked like a champ!
