Arizona heat

Arizona summers can push sealed enclosures, dashboards and rooftops past the temperature ratings of electronics and lithium batteries. Shade outdoor gear and check the maker's operating range.

Stay legal

License-free use in the US falls under FCC Part 15. Keep transmit power and antenna gain within the limits, or hold an amateur license and use licensed mode. See legal basics.
