Network Radio - RAFARS Channel

2018-06-15T11:45:53+00:00

Network Radio, what's it all about?
If you have read the recent articles in RadCom and Practical Wireless, then you will be aware of the growing popularity of Network Radio, or PTT over Cellular. Some of you might have glossed over this or ruled it out without a second thought as of course 'It's not REAL radio!' However, I do recommend that you do at least read what you can about this means of COMMUNICATION.
