Re: mobile radios
My son-in-law and I were out sledding a month or so ago. He is a SAR person and had a Sat phone (Goblestar) with him. At an elevation of 6100' (1860m) and an unobstructed view, he could not contact PEP HQ in Victoria. He tried his cell (Rogers) and had "no service", he ended up using my cell (Telus) to make the connection. Much as Telus can piss me off, it's hard to beat their mobility service.
Now, if the Federal Government would allow GMRS to use 5 watts like they can in the USA, then the outdoor persons would have a more reliable form of communication.
