Thanks for the internal photos Lscott. Wow, look at that delightful full sized metal shield. No wonder these radios radiate well, they have a huge "ground plane" for the whip. I stand by my statement that if one puts a true and efficient (read low loss, not steel but rather copper) whip on this radio it will radiate very well indeed.

Thanks for the input. This looks interesting. It seems that Menus 16 and 16 have only On or Off choices. I'll play with them to see what they do. I now have a second RA25 on the way which will go in our UTV. So I'll have two identical radios to see how they behave with these settings talking to each other.

Thank you Sshannon. I believe you're correct. I think my radio is just fine. -

How do you plan on doing that?

Thank you for your response WSAK691. I agree that nothing is wrong with the radio. I however am no expert. -

Two repeaters on the same frequency cross talking
Sshannon replied to DrBob's topic in General Discussion
It doesn’t matter that one is DCS and the other is CTCSS. In either case squelch is opened up and audio from any present signal is reproduced. -
I somehow got my 779uv stuck in channel mode. When I press V/M I just hear a denial beep. I know I did something wrong in the menu. I can't factory restore because I misplaced my cable. Does anyone have a solution?

SvenMarbles replied to DrBob's topic in General Discussion
The CTCSS and DCS only serve the purpose of "breaking things open". Both the repeaters and your radio. Once they have, traffic flows. Nothing is wrong with anything, aside from the poor coordination of the parties running those repeaters. We have a couple of repeaters doing that to eachother in my area as well. I think that the root of the problem is that when the FCC laid out the band plan for GMRS with the 8 repeater pairs, they didn't expect people to go "full ham radio club" and put things on towers that get out forever. So in some regions it's getting to be problematic. -

I had every intention of offering the mia culpa. More information came to light and I've decided to sit tight.

Actually, I said dang hard instead of impossible so as to leave myself an out because I know some fool will spend the rest of today, all day tomorrow, and probably well into the weekend trying to find some American-made radio just to prove me wrong, and he probably would find some obscure used radio like a BK on Ebay that someone hacked. You know who those people are, you rail on them all the time. -

Yes. I just got the Baofeng GM-15 Pro software installed and started using it so I don't know a lot yet but so far, so good. I did notice that some of the TX frequencies on the DIY channels are not correct. I haven't tried to contact Baofeng about it yet. Edit: Just noticed the one I posted is wrong.

And change the tones from time to time.

Two repeaters on the same frequency cross talking
DrBob replied to DrBob's topic in General Discussion
I think you are correct Sshannon. What I really wanted to know however was if my radio was acting incorrectly by allowing these frequencies to cross each other like that. I've been told that because one has DCS and one has CTCSS that that should not happen. What do you think? By the way, I do believe at least one or two pairs are open near here. -
If you want to keep your family and friends only repeater private, don't list it on mygmrs.com. Also, I would split the tones and use CTCSS on the downlink/repeater output side and an Inverted DPL/DCS code on the uplink/repeater input side.

Does the Baofeng software allow Do It Yourself Repeater Channels with different tones between 31 and 54?
-
I'm using the GM-15 Pro from BFng, still good to go with the v2.x?

That worked! Thanks. My mistake was looking for a code with a D in it, instead of just using the number. -

The best part of that article is that the person in the photo is using MURS. I guess Walmart and fast food restaurants have proven to be formidable enemies. -

Sshannon replied to DrBob's topic in General Discussion
One of them needs to change frequencies. Are the other seven repeater pairs occupied?
