Even though I have only spoken to Lee on air a handful of times I too was shocked to learn last night of this news, he was a great radio tech & myself & my fellow Amateurs have reaped the benefits of his work setting up a first class linked repeater system.
He will be sorely missed.

All Apple stores use the DTR2450. They are the largest user of these radios in Australia. I can get you are price if you would like?
