Also, some States have written in their statute that public safety personnel are exempt in the performance of their duties.

Seems that I lost what I was trying to say. The earclip earpieces were uncomfortable for me wearing them for 10-12 hours. The curly clear tube earpieces with a molded ear insert was a lot more comfortable.

The Earclip was uncomfortable for me after wearing it for 10-12 hours. It always felt that the edge of my Ear was being pinched. The curly clear tube and molded earmold was a lot more comfortable for me for 10-12 hours.

That's the heavy duty wire kit.

I forgot to include my EVX-R70-G40 Repeater Station. It's really a Motorola XPR8400.

An earpiece wire kit with a molded ear insert would also help to impress the chicks.

A good rule of thumb, if you're willing to accept the thumb rule, think of it this way. The repeater station being high and the mobile units being low. You always go high and in for frequency and in for the tone to the repeater and to the mobile units go with down and low in frequency and out for the tone.

All UHFs with some radios with the "Q", "R", and "S" Band Ranges If you want to count CBs, I have 1-Radio Shack Realistic TRC-24 24 Channel Radio, Yes 24 selectable and usable channels, 1-Cobra 19DX III, 1-Cobra 19DX IV, and 1-Cobra 29 LTD Classic AM/FM Nightwatch.

Well let's see, I only own one CCSD and that's it, no more, and no way in hell will I buy another CCR. With that being said, I do own 28 (23-Portable Handhelds and 5 Mobiles) non-CCSDs.

It is given that the FCC has mandated that the FRS and GMRS radio services will share the spectrum between 462.550 MHz and 462.725 MHz, and 467.550 MHz and 467.725 MHz with voice modulation in the analog emissions mode. With the exception of a few large Metropolitan Regions, the smaller regional areas in the future may warrant additional GMRS channels due to the growth of the hobby. In my opinion, and for keeping the cost of this GMRS hobby affordable for people with less disposable income, most technological advancements such as, digital emissions for voice, etc., will drive up the cost and complexity of the hobby. Most people would like to keep the cost down and simple so they can have adequate voice radio communications. Allowing technical improvements like digital voice will not provide any additional benefit that analog emissions does today. People are communicating very effectively in the analog mode on the GMRS channels. If hobbyists/radio users want to indulge in the technical aspects of two-way radio, than the Amateur Radio Service is the play to go. The Amateur Radio Service is the Band where people can build, fabricate, experiment, engineer, tear apart, re-engineer, put back together to see if it will work, have digital voice emissions, and share their experiences with other people who likes to fiddle with the inner-workings of radio communication devices and have plenty of spectrum on several frequency bands to do the fiddling around. The GMRS Radio Services is not the place to do HAM stuff and things. That is why there is Amateur Radio Services. Sometimes, I question the need of 14 FRS radio channels. Is there really 14 simultaneous FRS conversations occurring in the same proximity with such low-powered devices with a gazillion privacy tones available and of course the conversations are not private? I doubt it. I believe FRS can effectively be used with a lot less radio channels, like MURS. Also, I believe allowing the reduced FRS channels operate at the two-watt output power level the 462 MHz channels could live adequately with the GMRS channels. Giving the FRS users the use of the existing channels 1-7 at two-watts and taking away channels 8-14 would not be a dis-service to the FRS users. I would like to see the FCC mandate that the main GMRS channels be reallocated to 2.5 KHz/12.5 KHz channels and the interstitial channels be reallocated for GMRS 50 watt use and several channel pairs designated for use only at lower HAAT elevations. By reallocation the channels to narrowband would provide a lot more channel capacity with less channel and user interferences and provide for future growth. The reforming of the Part 90 allocated radio channels did not cause any problems and I feel that the GMRS channels can be just as successful with narrowband. Eventually, GMRS may be forced into narrowband in the future, so let's get'r dun!

Does the transceiver mounting bracket take the "2135" key?

Nor regulate it.

Or High up (link) and Low down (link).

Where do you get this form?

I believe, if you're going to use a Telco Pieceout or RTO circuit, you have to use a Tone Remote as opposed to DC signaling because Telco will not provide a true analog dedicated circuit. If the circuit is not a digital copper circuit, it'll probably be a Fiber circuit. This has been the case for almost 25 if not 30 years now. Even the two-wire circuit went away about the same time and if you try to order a two-wire circuit, you'll get a four-wire circuit.

"Some People", yes, and I don't know what their hate preferences are.

On my meter, with my KG1000G Plus, it will draw .3 on standby, .4 on receive, and 10.7 amps on transmit at 14.2 volts.

I believe the original poster was referring to setting up a GMRS base station that will allow 50 watts on the main channels but, you're right he can only use 5 watts on the 462 MHz interstitial channels.

And, that would be naughty naughty and may interfere with other channels and make the FCC Lords very unhappy.

I hear some of those cheap amps may not be FCC type-accepted and put out dirty emissions that may not be within the rules.

Some law enforcement agencies will use a mixture of 9 and 10 codes, 10 and 11 codes, or just 9 codes only. Some agencies such as Los Angeles PD use plain language with the exception of a few "Code" codes i.e. Code 4, Code 5, etc. along with numerous Penal Code statute section numbers such as 211 for Robbery which is Penal Code Section "211". I wonder if LAPD still use "See the Man/Woman" phrase when they dispatch a call to a Radio Car Then, there is the so called unofficial "800" Code which is not for appropriate use in front of kids such as "832". Radio codes are not used to coverup the meaning or keep confidential from the public. They are mainly used for clarity and brevity. Some codes have a standard meaning like 10-4 (OK, message received.) 10-1 means poor reception, 10-2 good reception, 10-3 change channels. Also, a lot of the 10 codes beyond the basic 10-1 to 10-10 codes will have different meaning for numerous agencies and that goes for the "9" codes too.

You might want to try a Midland NMO mag-mount. The cable they use is pretty flexible and forgiving. Just whack off their PL259 connector and crimp on an Amphenol connector. The PL259 connector they use is junk.

So, you're saying that the FCC is assured that a GMRS licensee will know and not program a FRS Channel 8-14 at a higher power output level than .5 watt with a Part 90 radio but, the FCC may be concerned that an Amateur Radio license applicant may not know and so they need to test accordingly to make sure that they don't violate a rule?

Oops, in my posting I meant to convey channel spacing not channel bandwidth.

"Oh and a question....what the heck is a interstitial?" It means in between two main allocated GMRS channel a.k.a. splitter channel. The two main GMRS channels 462.550 and 462.575 MHzs would have a splitter channel 12.5 KHz off the two aforementioned main channels thus, 462.5625 MHz. That is why the FRS channels are only 12.5 KHz wide.
