Can you transmit data ex GPS information or video over a two way radio if so how?

Answer 1

Data . . . Yes. You can use a 2-way (land mobile) radio to convey information in

digital form. In fact, most modern 2-way (LMR) systems carry the voices in the

form of digital data.

Video . . . In principle, video can be carried over a 2-way radio, but you wouldn't

like what you see. 2-way radio is a narrow-band communication channel, so any

information has to be sent over it rather slowly. For video, that means slow-scan

and low-resolution pictures. Ham radio operators do it, but you'd get tired of it.

GPS . . . Sure. The GPS data comes down from the satellites rather slowly, and

after it's detected and massaged by a GPS receiver, it can easily be carried to

another place over a land-mobile-radio link. But all that would tell you is the

location of the GPS receiver, i.e. the 2-way radio that sends it, which you would

probably already know. It wouldn't tell you anything about the location of the

2-way receiver where you're hearing it.
