Just wondering if anyone's seen these out in the wild yet or knows what the ETA should look like. I have a permit I'd like to use before it expires. Thanks.
Looking to buy any of the following models, I'd appreciate a head's up if anyone comes across any at local shops or in-stock online. Thanks in advance.

Have you done any research into the cost and licensing requirements to run a repeater? We own some mountainous acreage in a very rural part of Virginia RIdge and Valley country that serves as vacation place and potential SHTF retreat. We get mediocre cell phone coverage (US Cellular only) and nothing else. I have thought of putting an antenna tower up the hill a ways (we own nearly to the top of the ridge. I wouldn't do it just for Ham or GMRS radio, but if I could get expanded cell coverage, and/or satellite internet (Dish or Starlink) as well, from one tower, I might go for it.
