I don’t see the usual black banner with dollar sign that indicates you’re a premium member, but sometimes that get out of sync between the two different portions of this site. Premium Membership is $50 annually. I know Rich has added additional membership levels that don’t cost the full $50. If doing as Gil recommended above doesn’t answer your questions then consider reporting your own post to catch Rich’s attention.

It’s not on the forum site, you will find subscriptions on the mygmrs.com repeater/map site. You will need to log on there just like yo do here, open the control panel by clicking in upper left hand corner then scroll down on the right to subscriptions.

The new cable worked. Make sure you buy a FTDI cable with the chip in it. No drivers to load. Just plug and play.

A ground plane plate???

The Diablo winds.

Them Santa Ana Winds work in mysterious ways

They definitely are not legal for GMRS. Every time I try to use mine on GMRS frequencies the FCC helicopter lands nearby to write me a ticket.

You can't measure SWR on handheld radio antennas without very specialized equipment.

Hello, I just had a $25 subscription charge by myGMRS.com on April 26th which I think is for access to one of the New York City GMRS repeater groups. I'm happy to pay it (I think it is a renewal from last year when I first signed up), but I'm confused that I can't see it listed anywhere on my account. And I actually also can't see where my annual subscription for myGRMS.com is listed (pretty sure I am a premium member). I can see this New York City GMRS repeater club listed in my profile, but no way to leave it. Please advise! Ian

Great little radios. Don't think they are legal for GMRS...

Hello, I have the HYS-771N SMA FEMALE GMRS Antenna and I'm getting a SWR of 19.9 on my Tidradio H* GMRS. I would avoid using this antenna.

Threads like this have me thinking some of y’all have never seen a naked woman.

We know all about the Chevron Doctrine. Where the regulatory agencies decided they could be judge, jury, court and prosecutor of all decisions. And then make sure all the "fees" are made payable to them.

All regulatory agencies interpret their rules to their favor, from the ATF to the other end of the list. FCC is no different. Unlike some of the other agencies they don’t seem to enforce their interpretations very often. I have no idea how you reached such a conclusion, and it’s not worthwhile trying. I’m glad they post both the rules and the regulations . I even agree with many of their interpretations.

It's the kind of rivalry where only 1 side thinks it's a rivalry

Maybe the signal was working its way bouncing along through the Cajon Pass and up through the Santa Ana Canyon with the winds?

For "some people", obviously not for me.

You had fire? That must have been invented later.

Good work! I'm old enough to remember when making fire was enough to impress the spouse.

There is zero chance of that happening. Even the most diehard 9mm owners love and respect The Lord's caliber.

Try pressing and holding the star key. also the best easiest way is to program in a computer.

No doubt, the HLN9073 is the more elegant of the two designs. JJHXSM-like mic holders came with my Wouxuns mobiles. They are a little bendy, but useable. However, to use one in my particular car, it would require me to screw it to the dash or center console and suffer an awkward reach or create interference with other stuff. None of which are acceptable to me. The magnet solution, while imperfect, allows me to secure the mic to the radio's mounting bracket without effort or precision. Thanks for the information!

The Red's records off of the carrier signal and not just the audio. As long as you have the transmit button down it will stay open (or until the timer times out).

My unit has gotten on low power on my main repeater channel. For the life of me I can't figure how to get it back on high. I can not find anything in the manual.
