AM FM SSB 15/45/60 pep Modding for final reliability

Keep in mind that some of the signals you are hearing are going to be from FRS bubble pack radios. Unlikely you are going to get a response from a radio check by an unknown person, especially on local. If you can get into a repeater, more likely you will get a response. Keep in mind, this is not ham. From what I can see, the gm30 appears to be the same radio as the Retevis. Upgrading to a Wouxun is not going to do you any good if there is no one on the other end to talk to.

He worked at several places in the states and around the world, but most of the time he was at Plum Brook research facility west of Cleveland. If you have ever seen the movie Armageddon, the scene where they are in a giant vacuum chamber and the female astronaut asks Bear what would happen if she kicked him in the balls, that's the world's largest vacuum chamber and it's located at Plum Brook. My kids have a tent on their bed made from cloth used in some sort of rocket humidity test that was inside that chamber.

"OK now I'm getting educated. So where do I find repeater in my area that are on Zello? I have Channels for gmrs 24 connected and for mygmrs discounted. Where do I go from here to find others...." You need to look at the map and see what repeaters are in the area. If they are networked they will usually say so in the notes, same with Zello connections. "OK to PM if we need to talk about it. Afterwards I will then tell all what I'm missing in understanding for their good" Theres no need to PM, I rather get this out in the open to avoid "accusations." "Thanks, you took the bait to help us folks who only know a fraction of what you know." When I joined, I had to learn quite a bit myself. This includes doing my own research when a question is repeatedly asked, for instance searching "networked repeaters" on the forums. When you give smart-ass comments like this, you end up discouraging those of us who do have information available. The question originally asked was "how to connect to the national network." This has been discussed several times and even I have discussed how to find such repeaters using the MyGMRS page several times. It takes up server space and time to have to repeat myself. As for helping, I gave the same answer, DO THE RESEARCH. This isn't difficult. You've found your way to this forum and site which is a great resource. We know your not some dumb guy who can't use a simple search function, and honestly if you are that guy, you likely shouldn't be on the radio at all as you likely do not know or care enough to use these resources properly. Simply put, when I say do the research, the information is readily available to find. Then if there is a technical question, for instance the node is not hearing your command codes, then we can try and help troubleshoot. Its not rocket science to simply read.

I wonder how many of us on here are actually Jeep addicts with a radio problem as well
