Actually you could very easily just get yourself a Business Radio
Service License, and use Land Mobile VHF Radios and be perfectly
LEGAL, in all respects. I am suprised no one else came up with that
option. It is what Business Radio Service is all about. You will
not get your own Private Frequency, but a shared frequency with PL
would do you just spiffy.
True enough, and he could use the same antenna for marine channels,
albeit with another radio.
THis is the same reason I suggested Murs. Only problem is I'm not
hearing of that much equipment available for murs yet. I think
Popular COmmunications did a review of one unit for the Murs freqs a
couple months back but that's the first I"ve seen.
FOr the original poster, check with reputable two-way radio shops in
your area regarding business band equipment for vhf. IF all else
fails ask your plumber heating contractor or other businessmen you
deal with who use two-way radio equipment in their endeavors to steer
you to their provider of services. YOu might find some used
equipment at a reasonable price.
IF you buy new often an application is included for the license.
FOr Murs equipment I think good ol' radio slack is selling murs
equipment these days, those are the "color dot" channels in the vhf
range around 154-155 mhz. NO license required and with a decent
antenna at the cabin you could conceivably achieve ten mile range.
