i suspect the intent of this thread was to talk about the OP's radiation concerns, rather than know about how to actually get reliable service.

If I could do about 45 mph or less for the rest of my life, I would. I literally got the only speeding ticket ever in my life on the literal slowest motorized, road legal vehicle I have ever owned...a 250 cc dual sport bike that i lived off of for about 5 or 6 years. I was trying to gain some...

My Icom programming software was windoze based, i was able to run it in WINE, but CHIRP just started supporting it, so no need for that any longer. :)
