  1. There are several GMRS repeaters that operate with narrowband emissions, it's not just FRS that operate narrowband. When you comes across a repeater station that you're interested in, you need to check the details to make sure you are programming your radio properly. If the repeater station details doesn't mention anything about narrowband operation, you can assume that the station operates wideband. Most repeater owners that operate their station(s) with narrowband emissions will list that information in the details.
  2. Send him the link to the download page
  3. Check with Bluemax49ers
  4. The Arizona GMRS Repeater Club has a Crack highly trained RFI DF SWAT Team.
  5. The hospitals are communicating on the ISM (900 Meg) band just like the digital FHSS DTR, DLR, and CLR radios do.
  6. The repeater that you're trying to access, does the owner list the repeater as "permission required" or "members only". If not, you do not need permission.
  7. Back in the day of linked repeaters, SWCRS had their Sunday net that would last for hours and my wife enjoyed the various subjects that were discussed and we were able to hear the Net continuously from West Texas to Phoenix. And as the various discussion subjects came up, she would asked questions. I was surprised she took an interest.
  8. Agree, they are relatively simple to program and I wasn't having any difficulty in using those two programming applications. The problem was reading/write to/from the radios. For whatever reason, the were several radios that were not cooperating like the radios I did have success with.
  9. I have programmed a few of these radios, both the H3 and H8s, for people and not with a lot of success. It is strange that some of these radios will program and a lot of them will not program at all. Unfortunately, for the numerous owners, they have become a real disappointment because for some reason they just will not program with the App or Chirp. These radios are not worth the trouble and a waste of my time, they are a real cheap POS radios and should never have been allowed to be imported. I have stopped programming this brand of radios for people anymore. C'Mon people, stop buying this junk and wasting your money. Do you really think that a 2 pack of radios for only $50 is really of any quality? Get smart quit wasting your money. Stop getting suckered in on this kind of cheap stuff. Buying cheap is never cheap. These radios seem to be the worst of the worst. Some of the people I tried to program their radios did get a different brand of radios and I did end up programming them. Others just gave up and they have lost interest in the hobby.
  10. Is there a point to this statement? Just trying to figure out the point of this.
  11. There really isn't any approval process, it is more of a notification for awareness especially for closed communities that have security entrances. When a house does sell, the Escrow companies have to present the new buyers' information to the community governing body to ensure the minimum age restriction is enforced, all the past fees are paid up from the seller and the buy-in fees and dues are prepaid from the buyer, and the CC&R agreement and other disclosures are signed.
  12. The covenants and restrictions do keep the neighboods from turning into ghettos with inoperative cars on the side of the driveway and on jack stands, weeds taking over the yard, paint peeling on the house, boats and RVs parking on the street and in the yards, basketball hoops in the street, and no kids under 19 years of age. It does help keeping the neighborhood looking nice and peaceful, and keep property crime down to almost nothing. In otherwords, if the covenants and restrictions are not to your liking, you do have the option of not buying in a planned community and go live in an area where you can paint your house purple or bright red, grow your marijuana, park your POS vehicles on the front yard and in the street all you want, and put up with undisciplined juveniles that have no respect for anything. So, "Get off my (front yard) rocks" (We don't have grass in our yards).
  13. And I think Lincoln Hills prohibit the parking of vehicles overnight at the curb and on the driveway and you have get permission on the color of the paint and the blinds/drapes. If I remember right, the front landscape cannot be changed and is maintained for you rather you like it or not.
  14. The CC&Rs don't prohibit the erection of antennae providing it is erected in accordance with the FCC and the County ordinances and that there is no interference with the neighbors' TV reception.
  15. My repeater station antenna in my Del Webb community.
  16. The Jeep Clubs I roll with, I have never seen anyone with HAM setup in their Jeep, at least not in Arizona. The Ham repeaters are very seldom used in my area.
  17. Area code for Cypress is 714. Area codes are three digit numbers and zip codes are five digit numbers. 90630 is a zip code not an area code. I'm sure most of the people in Cypress don't even know that the city name back in the late 50s and early to mid 60s was Dairy City and La Palma was named Dairyland.
  18. What repeaters are you trying to hit from Cypress? You should be able to hit the repeater located in Limber Dick Acres, a.k.a Leisure World, from Cypress. The Westminster repeater may be iffy.
  19. It's Dosy and I am using the TFC3001 meter. Essentially, they all function the same.
  20. It may depend on the tree and time of the year and weather. What are you trying to accomplish in this footprint of coverage that direct/simplex won't provide out in the middle of where you're going to be?
  21. Approx. 70 of my portable radios are Motorola of various models. Out of approx. 21 mobiles, I have 4 Kenwoods; 1 Midland, 1 Wouxun, and the rest of them are Motorola of various models and operating bands. I acquired the Wouxun from a person that wanted me to program it and he never came back to pick it up. I may have one CCR now by default.
  22. No, we are all not guilty, because I refuse to buy cheap POS Pandaland crap or any merchandise that is resold through any big warehouse operation that doesn't specialize in anything of quality.
  23. So, would the audio be clear voice on the other end whereas, anyone can hear the transmission?
  24. Join a GMRS Radio Club and meet new people. So when you hear them coming on the air and monitoring you can reach out and exchange your Heys and go from there.
  25. Will this voice inversion or any type of transmission whereas, the voice is not clearly modulated, meet the Part 95, Subparts A & E, related to the emissions requirement or frequency accuracy that are outlined in the respective subparts?
