Does anyone know of a good solution for a mobile broadband modem/router for continuous 24/7 usage, preferably on Verizon service that can share our 10 GB internet plan? We have tried two different model Jetpacks and both worked for a few weeks, then began shutting down after every 24-48 hours...

I passed my Technician and General Amateur Radio exams last weekend, so now I am shopping for my first gear. I want to start out with a simple man-portable walkabout/bicycle-friendly kit for urban or woodland recon, bugout/bugin, and get home. (Later, as I become more proficient, I will explore...

Slick. Link.

well guys, got my callsign today, after passing my tech test perfectly. Taking general and extra in a few months, was a mix up on test fees. So, now I need radios. I'll be doing s&r, and as I'm overlooking 300,000 acres of wilderness from my house, I'll want a hand held and a vehicular. The...
