Hi, our? ARES group is about to get moving on Winlink for EMCOM purposes - and, were WERE going to use: Baofeng, Direwolf, Raspberry Pi, but after hearing about several issues with Baofeng (and a very nice post here in this group), I'm thinking the Baofeng is not "Battle hardened" for ARES.?
What radio/handheld or other radio have you used with Direwolf and Winlink?? Can it be sufficiently battle-hardened (for emergency prep, ready to go, dependable)?
Of course, we will need to find a sufficient quantity if you recommend something older.
Thanks in advance,
