[BlindTlk] Amateur Radio Information, please.

[Ericka]

TYT handheld’s are fantastic and mine is analog/DMR. It’s fully accessible with speech chip included and it’s only like $95. Contact WI9 hf at att.NET for where to purchase. My husband has a repeater and everything so he’s a great resource. He’s seen the changes as he’s been a ham for over 30 years. Or you can contact him at 6:08-575–7991. Glad to have another woman want to get in on the action Judy!
