In less than 20 years, cell phones have gone from a basic communications device to a handheld multi-functional communicator. Significant funding has supported statewide integrated two way voice and data radio systems. Does amateur radio have a role with the new technical changes that will continue to improve the emergency communications infrastructure?
If you missed Duane’s appearance at Hamcon 2015 as a Tech Talk Speaker, now is your chance to meet WB9RER. He will answer your questions.
