Communications for Overlanding (GMRS & Satellite 2-way messengers)

The Ineos Grenadier is getting close

I think this will be the successor to the original Land Rover Defender. In fact, the CEO of the company behind it tried to buy the Defender name from Land Rover but they of course had other plans for it. So he built Ineos (the company) so that he could
