  2. Hello folks, I recently discovered that i had my Duplexer backwards... I had the receiver in low and the transmit on high. How do you know if it's damaged? This is the duplexer.. https://www.buytwowayradios.com/xlt-dp-gmrs-50.html?fee=5&fep=5322&utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=product_ppc&matchtype=&keyword=&device=c&adposition=&network=g&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqpSwBhClARIsADlZ_Tm3ht6u9wrpcsToPa1QJOD0QObAvnf9wSRa0YdlC52i4tnVNFwutGsaAlsxEALw_wcB
  3. I'm also kinda new at this, but seriously, you're a member of this site, look at the various mygmrs.com maps of your area.
  4. https://mygmrs.com/repeaters There are two in the Pahrump area:
  5. I’m new to GMRS. Does anyone know of any repeaters in the pahrump Nevada area? Thanks
  6. You need to submit your request to the repeater owner through mygmrs.com by clicking on the details button for that repeater on the map. The Tones for Pinal did not change. SWCRS activated the PT-T ID feature and issued every member their personal PT-T ID number in order to access the repeater. Your radio has to have the ability to send the ID using MDC1200 system feature for it to work.
  7. you used to be able to use Excel (the newest version) to pull the data from the web site.. But that is no longer working. I agree with you that the site owner should use the KMZ option to the his paid service.. He would easily increase his paid service subscriptions by doing so. I did offer to help him do this for no fees. Even offered to give him the template i built to get the data into KMZ/KML format, he never answered my message. The template i built would allow him to make KML/KMZ for all states. I hope the sample of data i sent will entice him to get this going. In the mean time another web site has reached out to me asking to help them build KMZ files for GMRS. I would rather help this site get it going but we'll see what happens.
  8. Today
  9. i have more experience and none of that makes any sense.
  10. Welcome to GMRS and this forum. Some of the other members on this forum, have levels of intelligence so great, that a newbie question literally makes their brains explode! Don’t take it personally or as an insult. Some still like to Elmer, to borrow an expression from Ham Radio, that is, who enjoy imparting knowledge to those newly arrived to GmRS, and are not frustrated by answering similar questions, many times over. it is surprising, that those with such great levels of intelligence, have still not figured out how to go on to the next topic, without having to give any response. Part of the problem is social media software, that grants points, awards and likes and Dislikes to those that just cannot filter their impulse to “spray” every possible comment with their “scent. Now, as to your question, many HTs label GMRS as Channels 1-30. The first 14 channels are on different frequencies However Channels 15-22, the high power channels of up to 50 watts) are also the same frequencies as Channels 23 through 30, respectively, which are then used in pairs to transmit to, and receive from repeaters. So yes, the repeater output on Channel 23, is the same as a simplex operator on Channel 15. But they may be licated so far from each other that they do not interfere with each other. But you may be located at a midpoint where you can hear them both. Also you may be hearing User-A on the output of a repeater on Channel 23 and then hear User-B’s output on the same repeater but you are hearing them on the same frequency, denominated as Channel 15. It will make more sense as you get more usage experience
  11. Were you westbound heading home when you were on top of Chiriaco? Maybe eastbound on top of Chiriaco would have worked better with the antenna facing towards the repeater.

    Repeaters

    one I know of that you may be able to hit is the spring mountain repeater on 700. It has a huge foot print of over 200mil radius. It’s near where the 160 goes through the mountains.

    What kind of trouble? Have you tried these (see pikture)?

    Repeaters

    Having trouble connecting to repeaters in pahrump nv anyone know any in my area?
  15. Unless you have the worlds worst antenna or are buried behind huge buildings or very dense wet woods 22 miles is nothing at all and should easily hit the repeater full quieting.
  16. Yes. Use your existing FRN. Also be aware that the FCC will begin to enforce the use of multi-factor authentication beginning on March 29, 2024. Users will be prompted to request a six-digit secondary verification code, which will be sent to the email address(es) associated with each username. More info here -> FCC to Require Two Factor Authentication for CORES Users.
  17. Awesome, will do. Thank you for the info.
  18. My radio and accessories arrive tomorrow. At 47 ft above sea level, I'm hoping to hit a repeater 21.9 miles away with my 50 watt transceiver.
  19. It is much easier on the paint than what was originally on the base, and it can be easily removed and replaced when necessary. I have been using this for many years on different vehicles for various applications, and as I stated, the vinyl is attached to the base, not the paint of the car. Alternately you could apply the film to the roof of the vehicle, which is actually what it is designed for anyway. I have some attached to the paint of a motorcycle to prevent paint damage where something rubs against it. It comes off easily. The base originally had a very thing plastic/vinyl covering, not rubber, so this isn't really different, and with a 6 inch tall antenna, it isn't moving while driving. The only time it moves is when I try to remove it.
  20. I think we've all learned a very valuable lesson here today.
  21. Click on the gear icon in the upper left of the map and enable "Show Stale Repeaters." Stale repeaters are just repeaters that haven't had an update in more than 1 year. Also, checkout some local clubs, including ham clubs. Often times GMRS repeaters are owned by hams.
  22. There are not a lot of repeaters near Clarksville TN on either MyGMRS, or Repeaterbook. Anyone in the area that knows of local ones that are not listed? My daughter is in that area and getting into GMRS. I'm trying to help her out by doing the leg work and to program her radio. Thank you in advance for any helpful comments.
  23. I do good hearing Fire&EMS, but I can't seem to get GMRS. I got in to this to look at the traffic going throw my club repeater. But when I go to our frequency both on in put and out put I do not see anything. I tried NFM and WFM. I currently using SDR++. SDR-Sharp performed the same. I can only think I'm over looking a setting some where. Any suggestions?
  24. @OffRoaderX fair enough! Made up, and clearly 100% wrong - ignore this dunce over here and keep trudging on.
  25. On the UV-5G-Plus, channel 23 is Repeater Channel #1 (aka 467/462.5500) and channel 21 is GMRS channel 21 (aka 462.700). Because the OP says he has not made any programming changes to the radio, your made-up scenario is... made up.. and therefore should be ignored.
  26. That protects the base of the mount, but isn’t effective at protecting your paint. The vinyl will still move against the car’s painted surface, maybe even easier than the rubber. Iron dust (which is everywhere because 5% of the earth’s crust is iron) will be attracted to the magnet through the vinyl and can become embedded into the vinyl where it will abrade the paint. If the vinyl is stuck to the paint then it becomes the sacrificial surface that the mount grinds against.
