[App_rpt-users] simplex vs duplex for a home node

[Skyler F]

I mean to use the baofeng for the radio that you are talking on your node
with, and use two seperate radios, or a full duplex cross band radio for
the node, that way, if someone is doubling with you, your transmission will
still get though and not get stomped on by the node
