Perhaps this?

I picked up a Bird 43 wattmeter and some slugs.

Sorry try this pic

Although the picture doesn't work for me, congratulations on getting this done. The most amazing thing is that you found a piece of actual wood in something from Staples. ?

Sure.

That one I can see. That looks nice.

That one works ?

Well I'm pretty sure it was over 15 years old haha

Channel 17 is simplex. You would need to program in channel 25 for repeater 462.6000. Repeaters frequencies can be programmed 23 and up.

When I spoke to the Kenwood rep I told him they should have made it DMR. If they did I bet they couldn’t make them fast enough to keep on the shelf. The guy just shrugged and said they told Japan the same thing but nobody there would listen.

Got home and tweaked my codeplug for the incoming radio to load up on also.

Hey folks, we had an awesome turnout! Thank you to everyone who attended. I had a great time and it was nice meeting some of you for the first time. Looking forward to the next one!

Two things stand out to me. 1st why do you have the mic clipped on the antenna? That almost certainly can only negatively effect it's performance. 2nd Does it do that when an external antenna is connected? I can get some interference on my KG935G+ if I do the same thing with the rubber ducky on it. Move it a few inches away from the dash and it stops. That's in an 98 Ranger. No issue with roof top antenna connected. There are so many electronics in modern cars it's not surprising. Most of the time just a little distance is all that's needed.

I think the OP is over thinking all of this. When I hear 10 codes being used by people, other than public safety professionals, I think “Paul Blart, mall cop”. If you’re really in need of codes, have at it, but plain English works just fine.

This place just never stops giving...

You mean you're not choosing the cartel mule shipping option? Nevermind, they also report directly to several 3 letter agencies.
