like the title..... why no Frequently Asked Question post pinned at the top?

I know there are VERY knowledgeable people in here..... It would save hours of searching for an item of question that piles of us have.....

@RPilk what sort of FAQ questions did you have in mind?
I think this could be a good idea.

Perhaps @Kent R and @brien have some input and direction.
Questions like-
What are some good radio options- functionality vs cost vs size vs durability...

What antenna works best in this application, and how to mount it?

Remote head or full radio mount- pros cons, why?

Mounting solutions??

I have a handle on most of this, but just notice a pile of the same questions repeating themselves without clear guidance...

Ugh... bump. I don’t even know where to start... a faq or noob guide to picking a comms device would be super helpful for me.

Nathan (@Natenite) what are your comm needs?
Are you looking for good all around comms to reach the outside world, possibly in case of an emergency?
Are you looking for just trail/convoy comms between a group? Same group all the time or different people?

yes, and yes....
yes, sometimes, yes.....

in other words, why dont we have a pinned post that asks and answers these type questions.....????

they are very common, Id like your knowledge to be available to all without you having to see the specific post and reply...
