    Somewhere in the same ballpark but less durable.

    That's a good deal to repower a 98vhp. If mine finally smokes at least I know it won't cost an arm and a leg to repair.

    That all depends on who does it.

    Is it possible to hack a scanner to pick up everything? Lol

    It's not likely with all the new Communications technology law enforcement paramedics and First Responders have started using.

    Depends on what new comm tech we're talking about.

    When did FEMA come out with this list? It seems to place a huge burden on local police and First Responders being forced to replace Communications equipment.

    I was fiddling around with DSD a couple years ago, got busy and stopped fiddling. Its a little bit cumbersome and takes quite a few steps to make it work, but I was decoding my local cops for a few days.

    Mark just got done putting a matched set of these in a Stryker 447hpc and after aligning it, keyed and modulated it for 3 minutes without a load and the mosfets were perfectly intact afterwards. He even managed to get the amperage draw down to 6 amps. He made a video but I'm not sure if he's going to upload it. I guess I'll send him my first
    AT-6666 to play with to see if he can make it indestructible also.
