I have and do use software, because I have to. Not so handy if I am out away from the computer. This discussion was aimed at what seemingly simple things could be added to make it better. So we don't have to use software when it isn't handy.

Perfect. Do you have the address???

Yes. Wouxun KG-935G Plus, for one, lets you choose whether to scan a channel from the menu.

Dear Baofeng: I see that a short time ago you have come out with a new GMRS HT (UV-5G Plus). It looks like a pretty nice upgrade, but I think once again you have missed an opportunity to make a pretty nice radio into a really nice radio. My complaint falls entirely in the menu system. 1. Why can we not change/enter a channel name in the menu system? 2. Why can we not set whether a channel can be scanned or not scanned in the menu system? Baofeng, I think if you fixed just these two things your radios would move up a notch in the value/quality matrix. I would really like to buy this radio to add to my collection, but I don't want to frustrate myself. Thank you for listening. WRPL700

I was in favor of linked repeaters for a while, but with only 8 frequency pairs, I vote no.

I am using 50' Browning BR-400 with good luck: https://shop.mygmrs.com/collections/antennas/products/browning-br-400-low-loss-rf-coax-cable-assembly

I do believe your Anytone is a decent radio. I have two Radioddity DB-20Gs which are the same as the Anytone AT-779 and they do just fine. Alot of issues are caused by terrain, etc. not necessarily the radio per se.

A wise man once said...... You are right though.

Hey thanks for the update. I have seen on Randy's You-Tube video that his was putting out about 7 watts, but I was a bit suspicous that he had been sent a souped up version. This is good news and I may have to break down and get one. Thanks again!!!

I am curious what power out you got when you tested the Baofeng UV-5G Plus????

I was going to answer this yesterday, but did not because I thought it was clear... I also have the GMRS-9R (two purchased on Amazon). I use chirp and you should use the Baofeng UV-9G setting. It works perfectly.

Good info!!! Thank you and if you find anything else interesting, please let us know.

Great! Keep us up to date, especially about the antenna...

This vendor is shipping on 11/03: Wouxun KG-1000G Plus GMRS Base/Mobile Two Way Radio (buytwowayradios.com)

If you bought it from Radioddity, they are pretty good at helping with problems.

A fixed antenna (non-removable) does kill it for me, sadly.

Amen. I just haven't used it all that much since..... ummmm 30 years ago.

Do you recall the repeater freq? I live about 5 miles away from Claymont, DE.... just wondering which repeater it is.

Excellant. I am very interested in how this one performs. I have a couple of Baofeng GMRS-9Rs which are okay, but definately could be better.

Thought I would check back and see how you like it so far.

Aha moment. Thanks.

I just saw this new Retevis (Ailunce) HA1G radio this morning. Looks pretty good. Here is the link: Retevis HA1G IP67 Waterproof 220 Customizable Channels GMRS Radio The prce is $65.99, so not bad.

I have both the 20W Wouxun and 50 watt Wouxun. I love them both. That being said, there are some days when the weather conditions are right (or wrong I guess) when the 50 watt will hit the repeater 17 miles away that the 20 watt has a little struggle to get through to it. Most days though, my 5 watt HT gets through to it. Hope this does'nt muddy the water....
