-This radio only does local communication, but includes some features that allow for some digital communication (think “email” and AOL-like dial up communication). It also has a built-in GPS which may be handy when mounted in a vehicle. It also can operate as a repeater.

 This Arrow J-pole antenna is a good solid antenna and holds up VERY well in Idaho weather. It will not perform as well as the Diamond and Comet, but if you want to save a few pennies, this is still a good antenna.

 ===== Battery =====
-If you want to get a battery, it needs to be a 12 volt battery. It can be just about any size: 12Ah, 35Ah, 105Ah...whatever you’d like. The more amp-hours (Ah), the longer your radio will run on the battery. A 12V 12Ah battery would power any of the above radios for 2 to maybe 8 hours or more, depending on how much you use the radio (talking versus listening). I would recommend an AGM, SLA, or Lithium battery because they do not vent gas and are safe to have in-doors.
