2 Meter Radios Available on Loan (club members only)
The Warminster Amateur Radio Club has purchased four Vertex Standard
2-meter HT’s that are available for use by members of the club.
Each unit is equipped with an alkaline battery pack (you
supply the six AA cells), a “rubber ducky” antenna, a cigarette lighter
power cord, and the instruction book. Needless to say, the WARC repeater
is programmed into the memory, but you can use them on any other 2 meter
repeater or simplex frequency. Each unit can deliver up to 5 watts output.
The HT’s are available on a month-by-month basis and have been
purchased primarily to help new hams get on the air. However, they may
also be used by any club member who is in need of temporary 2-meter radio.
They are also available for use by participants in WARC’s public
service activities. The only requirements are that you must be a licensed
ham and a member of Warminster Amateur Radio Club.
If you would like to borrow one of the VX-150’s, contact Rich Luce, AG3L at ag3l@k3dn.org or
at 215-441-8264
