The Alinco DR-135TMKII is a VHF mobile radio and is pretty cheap to buy at the current
market price of $169.95. You can purchase these radios at HRO or AES.
The Alinco DR-235T and DR-435T are 220 and 440 versions.
The current price on these radios is a little higher than the VHF radios.
Usually between $250.00 and $260.00 dollars.
I know of at least 10 people that are using these Alinco mobiles for there IRLP node radios.
No one has had any problems with these radios and they have been on the air for a few years now.
No they are not commercial grade radios, but if you buy the radio new it comes with a warrantee.
You can buy them new, plug them in and they WORK! The IRLP audio sounds great through these radios.
Some of the commercial guys will argue that the Alinco radio is not rated for continuous
duty like a commercial radio would be. I have a simple solution to their argument. Please see below.
