[Harc] American Red Cross drill this Saturday 3/27- Do Not Reply

Fri Mar 26 11:54:02 CDT 2021

Yes. But with the 817 in mind, since they take the same mini-din and have very similar menu items.  MC/DRI website has a page to help select by radio model.  At this point I am only curious, and the only deficiency I currently have is phone/tablet digital:  I had it working, but loaned my Wolphilink to someone a few years ago, never got it back, forgot who I loaned it to, so I was about to buy another, and then, at the end of 2020, Wolfgang stopped making the Wolphilink due to being unable to get certain parts that had become obsolete.  Figured I would either home-brew a replacement, buy one used, or adapt a Signalink or other external device.  Your mention of the MC DRI caught my attention.
