Overthinking a little, but understandably. Valid considerations if you were setting up a non gmrs radio. The part 95 stuff (btech and k805g) has a lot of it covered already, though. Assuming stock programming, channel "rept15" already has the +5MHz shift set. Just set the radio to that channel, go into the menu and look for the "t-ctcss" option, and set the tone accordingly, and hit menu to set. If you want to set it on the receive side as well, look for the r-ctcss option next, and set the tone there as well.

Your comment caused me to go back and re-read the rules to see if I could reach your conclusion. Instead I ended up again concluding that a part 95e radio cannot, under any circumstances, feature the ability to transmit on any frequency that is not a GMRS frequency and that said responsibility for this lies with the internals of the radio transmitter. In simple terms, nothing that the user can do from the exterior of the radio (via its control panel or via external software) shall enable to radio to transmit on any frequency that is not a GMRS frequency. I did not conclude that a VFO could not exist, but I do conclude the absence of a VFO in combination with the complete absence of external programming capability is a means to achieve compliance. Now, the reason that I do not conclude that the presence of a VFO button alone makes the radio ineligible for part 95e compliance is basically this. In order for a multi-channel GMRS radio to be useful there needs to be a means to switch between authorized frequencies. Channels are one means of doing this. A channel is however, at its essence, a radio preset that maps one or more big numbers (frequencies and settings) to a short, more-easy-to-remember, number. This equates to a radio memory. A VFO at its essence can do the same thing, but instead it enables the user to choose the frequency and other settings through direct entry. The VFO violates FCC intent if (in my opinion), by means of using the VFO, the radio suddenly has the ability to transmit on frequencies that are not allowed. But, this is where the radio internals come in. While the user may be able to tune to and receive signals from many different frequencies, it is the internals of the radio that are responsible ensuring transmissions occur only on authorized frequencies (frequencies for which it is certified). By case and point. I own a particular amateur HT. The radio is only permitted to transmit on amateur frequencies, yet is is capable of receive on 10s of thousands of frequencies. The radio features both VFO and channel selectors. However, any attempt to Tx on a frequency outside the amateur radio allocations, whether by VFO or by channel selector, is blocked and both a tone and message are presented to the user. My conclusion therefore is that VFO can exist on a part 95e radio, but the radio shall not have the ability to transmit on any frequency that is not a GMRS frequency. For those that wish to read more, refer to Part 95.1761. And here is an excerpt from paragraph 2 with is speaks to “GMRS transmitters”: “...All frequency determining circuitry (including crystals) and programming controls in each GMRS transmitter must be internal to the transmitter and must not be accessible from the exterior of the transmitter operating panel or from the exterior of the transmitter enclosure...” Michael WRHS965 KE8PLM Edited to resolve text errors.

I see 3 more renewals in your future....[emoji3]. How’s that for positive attitude? Michael WRHS965 KE8PLM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Or, if you don't celebrate it, a nice day off at least.

Get your self a Daiwa VHF/UHF cross needle SWR/Power meter. https://static.dxengineering.com/global/images/prod/xlarge/dwa-cn-501vn_wu_xl.jpg?rep=False dxengineering.com

For GMRS use, be sure to get one that handles the UHF band - some SWR meters only handle HF. Try looking up MFJ or Diamond Antenna - they make several models of analog SWR/Power meters.

About darn time. I didn't believe what I read on another site, but these radios seem to be branded as portable scanners too... who knew. G.
