I like that viewpoint. I also like your call sign, as it simply rolls off the tongue... ...unlike mine that's decidedly a tongue-twister! WQWU626 Folks are all the time asking me how I got a call sign with only three letters, 'cause all they hear is "WQW626. The last "U" is elided into the preceding "W" unless I enunciate the letters s l o w l y.

Saw one where the 105 was better at receiving. Noticed that Amazon has been out of stock of the 115. Hoping its because they have stopped production to fix them.

I have the same radio and after getting a receive issue resolved, the replacement radio is working great. I can hit many repeaters in the area and with my BTech GMRS-V1 (part 95 approved FCC ID:2AGND-GMRS-V1) I am able to validate success. When I release the mike, I hear the tail. I have used this radio to hit a repeater about 11 miles away and talk to someone in Dallas and we figured we were 40 miles apart. Funny, I could hear him on the HT with the Duckie with static, put the Luiton NA771 on the HT and he was clear. Have not keyed this to hit repeaters. Did find that with CHIRP on the B-Tech I can add repeaters and their names to the other memory positions. BTECH has successfully taken a successful HAM radio and locked it to GMRS to get the part 95. I asked midland about using CHIRP and they indicated it would not work, so manual is all there is. Sure like using software to add the data and names for local repeaters to the Btech radios.....
