San Antonio Hams

Does anyone in the area have the ability to program a Motorola Radius M1225 – M43DGC90E2AA?

I am pretty sure it will program where I want it too!

We were testing out the MOU’s between REACT and NMC MARS as well as intercommunication skills. The exercise began at 11 AM local time with three phases: Pre-Land Fall (testing evacuation communications) , Land Fall (testing up to date weather conditions and storm damage) and Post Land Fall (evacuees returning to their homes, damage assessment, etc) In the spirit of cohesiveness, the operation was a success.

I’m sorry to report that my vehicle was broken into and burglarized, here in San Antonio.

They got the following equipment:

• Yaesu FT-857
• Yaesu FT-7800
• 2 MFJ Mighty-Lite 25 amp switching power supplies
• 2 Puxing VHF handhelds
• Rigid Cordless Drill
• Ryobi bit set
• ECG soldering gun

The radios and power supplies were marked with my call sign (NS5D).     A police report has been filed.   Please be on the lookout for this stuff and contact the police and myself if you find it.

There have been a rash of “smash-and-grab” car burglaries in San Antonio recently.   I thought if I kept my stuff out of sight in a box in the back of my truck, it would not be noticed.   No dice.
