Subject: [TowerTalk] 3-way handheld comm recommendation for tower work
<I?m looking for a recommendation on some sort of small radio that could be
used when we have guys up on the tower. The catch is I would like to find
something that would have a shared frequency so we could have a 3+ radios on
the same frequency.
Cell phones with bluetooth would be ideal but that?s out because the local cell
phone service for the guys on the ground is spotty which is really too bad
because that would be a perfect solution. Something like 2m would work ok but
that?s not duplex and would require PTT activation with a hand that is not
necessary going to be free to push the button.
I?m a HF guy and really don?t know anything about hand-held solutions but I
would guess there is a cheap silver-bullet for this task. Just have zero idea
of what it would be.

## FRS with headsets + Vox. Or perhaps hands free phoneS....and phone line
to top of tower. 9-14 vdc would be more than ample to power it all. 144
mhz simplex will work, but its ptt....pita. That plus some clown from
across town will be able to copy the fellow at top of tower, break in, then
offer his...advice.
