[Asterisk-Users] FRS / FRS/GMRS 2-way radios as SIP clients

[Chris Albertson]

Mark,

You are getting close to doing what I was thinking of.

Let's say your repeater system works with sub-watt power
transmitter and a little 1/4 wave antenna.  You could
get about a mile of range with a shirt pocket sized HT.
OK so for that's easy.

Next you get 50 of your freinds to build systems like that.
then you connect all the asterisk boxes with AIX.

What you've have then is a cell phone system running on VHF.
If you had an LDAP server that culd be kept up to date with
what call sign is in the range of which cell you could make
worldwide call sign to call sign calls.

Also, with low power xmiter lots of people could afford ot
git into it.  

THere are more things one could do with Asterisk and radio then
one person could ever cover.  I've been wanting to start
up some kind of interest group
