[TheList] Waikato AOS incident

Mon Aug 14 12:42:15 AEST 2017

Yes back to the radio discussion. F11 and 1D are AOS simplex channels eagle
could have been out of range at the time while  enroute to the incident
which explains why they were having com's issues. Also last time I checked.
Eagle has 1 Digital VHF radio with duel heads. 1 UHF Digital radio with
duel heads and one Lowband VHF analog radio.
