Hold On There Everybody!!!!
Apologies to all if I was not clear enough in the original post. My friend Sam - KJ6QFS is trying to encourage Alinco to produce the new 900 - 220 Mobile Radio they have been planning for some time. I did not want to start a discussion on probable, possible or, viable ways to or not to communicate in a Disaster. Many Ham Radio folks newly licensed or many decades licensed all over the USA think the new radio would be great, many do not. Some are involved in Disaster Communication, some are not. Sam and I are as well as many fellow Volunteers here in Topanga and surrounding areas.
If you think the new Radio would be a good thing for Ham Radio, please send Sam a brief supporting email, if not, don't send one. See below for the original post shortened to just needed facts.
Thanks and 73

Hello Everyone,
I thought it would be in the best interest of the group to share this.
I write to inform that very soon, Alinco Electronics will make its final decision as to whether or not it will be a worthy business venture to produce a dual-band 220Mhz/900Mhz 50/35 watt mobile radio that they have been working on for years. Obviously, this radio would be very desirable and exciting for several reasons, most obviously because this would be the very first "off-the shelf" 900Mhz mobile ham radio in the history of the hobby. Frequency agility is obviously a huge plus, too...
A couple months ago, I spoke to a representative at Alinco over the phone regarding this radio. He told me that if I can get enough people to express interest in this radio, it will make a HUGE difference in the outcome of the decision.
A simple, short letter expressing your interest in the release of this radio can be sent to my email, kj6qfs@gmail.com . I will compile all emails and forward them to the representative, as requested.
Many thanks to the group for sharing all the knowledge and enthusiasm!
