Linc Smartphone Walkie Talkie

So I'm still not sold on buying an add-on radio for a smartphone that I'm going to replace every couple of years, but I have to admit the Linc solution is pretty cool. It does FRS/GMRS, but what makes it interesting is the amateur radio options:

Linc Smart Walkie Talkie is also great for Amateur radio operators! Unlock the dual band (2m & 70cm) feature with your verified callsign and gain access to APRS tracking and Packet Radio capabilities. Linc can join your existing gear and help make some fun projects!

• Packet Radio

• Repeaters

• RoIP Repeaters

• Beacons

• Tracking devices (APRS)

• High altitude ballooning

• Long range mesh networks

• Scanning public safety frequencies

• Weather stations

• And much more!

Linc Smart Walkie Talkie operates on 2m & 70 cm band!

Zima

Great - I can make calls on my 3310 while drinking a nice, cold Zima. Good times.

FM Radio on Your Smartphone

The debate continues.

I posted the announcement from BuyTwoWayRadios in December about the MD-2017. This site (hamradioreviews.eu) suggests it won't be out next month, but rather we are looking at a May date.
