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?

It is coming from the Mingus site over looking Jerome.

462.5375 MHz is an allocated Business Radio Service freq and being used in a digital trunk system with 100 watt stations on Pinal and Mingus. The AZ GMRS 550 station on White Tanks already operates narrowband. If the other 550 stations operate narrowband and the mobiles and portables set their channels for narrowband, more than likely you wouldn't have any adjacent channel interference from the 462.5375 freq. In addition to narrowband emissions, if people would use a real radio with a real receiver and not a cheap POS Pandaland Radio with a receiver on a chip, more than likely you wouldn't have that problem.

Go out in the blind and ask for a radio check and after the response, strike up a conversation like, is my antenna too short or other radio related subject.

Maybe it is skip skipping off the ice from Canada or Russia or even Greenland. Greenland has a lot to talk about these days and probably would like to keep their traffic from prying ears.

Sorry no. Many years ago, I signed a software license and that would be a no-no. I don't know what the legality is today for breaching that license insofar as copyrights, etc. What I will do, I will program the radio for you at no cost, just pay the shipping cost both ways.

I have the wideband entitlement.

There are plenty of compatible headsets available with the correct impedance for two-way radios. I have five headsets and I use them regularly with my portables. I also have adapter cables to use so I can use the same headsets with the different model radios I have in my cache of radios without buying a specific headset for each model radio. I have numerous radios that uses the M1, M2, M3, and M7 accessory connectors. Stereo headsets are not the correct headsets to use with a two-way radio.

Not all repeater station owners operate their stations with wideband emissions. There are several repeater station owners that operate their stations with narrowband emissions. If a station has the capability to operate with narrowband emissions, it should not operate with wideband emissions. There is no real reason for a GMRS station to operate as a wideband station these days. Just because a wideband station sounds better than a narrowband station is not a legitimate reason to operate wideband. A station operating with narrowband emissions will get the job done just as well as a station operating with wideband emissions and be more efficient in regards to better spectrum management. I operate my repeater station with narrowband emissions.

If you can, get four portables (two for each band that are the same make and model) set the RF Output Power to one watt) and conduct a comparison test to see how the two bands do in performance. And of course, please report your findings to this forum.

Based on your callsign, you received your GMRS license less than a month ago. Is the Line A and/or C restriction(s) listed on your license? If not than your license has no restrictions and you're good to go providing that you follow the rules in Part 95, Subpart E.

Any normal person that has the ability to successfully pass the Technician Class Amateur Radio Service License exam should also have the knowledge/skills to program radios or have the skills to quickly learn how. But I guess when a majority of the people seeking a Technician License only skill is, remembering the answers to the exam, and they have no clue about anything radio, is the product you get these days. That is typical of the younger generations. I am really amazed with the number of people that I program radios for, and have their Technician License, really don't know anything about which frequency and tone to program in their radios. What is this world coming to.

The Midland Portables automatically switch to the .5 watt RF power level when channels 8-14 are selected. I believe the BTech GMRS V2 also does the same.

Also, you need to check the VSWRs to verify that the antenna system is in working order. It is not unusual to have a bad cable or a short at the connectors and/or a defective antenna. It only takes a little Itty bitty wire strand touching the wrong part of the connector to cause a poor performing antenna system and it won't a difference on how much power the radio is putting out. The VSWR meter will tell the story.

And I responded back with a list of possible conflicts and a couple action items to try.

There are several types of SMAs, with a center pin, without a center pin, and SMA-RP.

All of my CDM codeplug files have confidential freq info, but I can dummy one up with non-confidential info. I will need to know the model number of your radio in order to provide you with the correct .cpg file, if I have one with the same model number as your radio.

If you send me your .cpg codeplug file and the repeater info you want programmed, I be more than happy to take a peek at it for you. If your CPS application does not have the wideband entitlement, my application does.

Part 95 has an exception to the rule to allow for the use of LMR Type-Accepted radios to be used on GMRS channels providing they are used within the same use parameter limitations and restrictions as a Part 95 type-accepted radios insofar as the power level, emissions, and frequency tolerance settings.

This is the power draw for a Wouxun KG1000G Plus with 50 watts RF output to a dummy and with 10.3 amps pulling down to 13.2 volts.

I have two of these converters to step down from not more than 55 volts to 12 volts on board. They're both 10 amp converters.

My 51 Volt system with one battery.

Depends, they are usually special batteries for Golf Car applications. Some are 6 volt single or 12 volt single wet cell non-sealed batteries, (type depends on the model year) that requires refilling the cells with distilled water. The newer gasoline cars are using AGM and Lithium batteries. The Electric Golf Cars are either a 32 volt system, depending on the year model mostly older models, or a 48 volt system for the newer models. The batteries are specific Golf Car 8 volt batteries and are well cells and not sealed. You have to maintain/ service the batteries every 2-4 weeks refilling the cells with distilled water whichnis contingent on the charging cycles. All Golf Cars have some type of an external connection port to connect either an AC cord to charge the battery (ies) using the on-board charging unit or a proprietary external/wall-mount charger.

The golf cars do have a charging system or the battery would discharge too many times and piss off the old people. Also, Laird/T E Connectivity has non-ground plane antennae in various styles from base loadcoils to Phantoms. I use their non-ground plane antennae with great success and they tune very well.

Individual users are not licensed; stations are licensed in Part 90. Part 90.407 is pretty clear that would allow me to come up on a public safety channel under does imminent peril conditions. You should reread the rule again.
