Merry Christmas everyone.

Yep, it's called audio relay under the general settings on the app. Of course, you can buy an external simplex repeater box to attach to a radio (Argent ADS-SR1, Radio-Tone RT-SRC1, Red's Engineering SRPT-02) for less money, and they usually have some additional features like voice announcements, automatic callsign and so on, but I don't plan on trying to make it a permanent setup, just something that can be used as needed... and for that it's nice to have one thing that's already water resistant and doesn't need any external addons to carry or enclosures to protect from weather, that sort of thing. I don't need the other features of the GMRS Pro, so I'm still weighing purchasing one just for that feature, but as far as I know no other GMRS radio has it built in. I may wait and see if I come across one used.

As in: you transmit to the BTECH GMRS-PRO and it "records" your message during receive and then plays it back on transmit? Sound like a fun feature; now to decide if I should invest $155 (plus tax) to experiment with it! Merry Christmas!

Dont mess with it - 2.02:1 is plenty good enough.

Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas!

Just a quick heads-up, for those local, a group of us are heading up to Flagpole on New Year's Eve day. If anyone wants to tag along, I'll share the details. Also, phase 1 of the Gladiator is done. Phase 2 should start in mid-February.

I’ve used Norton Utilities since Peter Norton owned it and Antivirus since it was released and I’m ready to jump ship. They’ve become the worst at constantly trying to sell a person up. Way more annoying than I want.

Don't know of any radios that have it built in but you can run a Argent ADS-SR1 simplex repeater on almost any radio. Runs around $90 plus $10 or so for a premade cable for your radio. It does a bunch of cool things like CW-ID, Voicemail boxes and Voice-ID. I just run mine as a straight simplex repeater on occasion on the base station for testing out radios and antennas in the field by myself, works great for that.

That’s a major point for Ham. There are very few digital mode repeaters on VHF. I have radios in my collection for both VHF and UHF, with far more units of the UHF band type for the above reason.
