    Just get a KG-935Gplus and be done.
  3. WRWE456
    Maybe try a different antenna?
  4. WRWE456
    On the chart look at the 300mhz line toward the left end, look for "Land Mobile"

    This will shed some light on the situation. Shows just how busy the frequency spectrum is: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/2003-allochrt.pdf This is a PDF that can be zoomed into.
  6. WRWE456
    Yes. See here: https://mygmrs.com/help/about-gmrs

    Here is some good info in support of the KG-935G/plus and why you will not likely improve on it. https://rumble.com/v2pf7jn-wouxun-kg-935g-output-power-and-swr-test-factory-vs.-nagoya-na-771g-and-na7.html And https://rumble.com/v3nhca7-the-wouxun-kg-935g-still-the-best-gmrs-ht.html

    If you are thinking of getting a KG-1000G later it may make sense to go with KG-UV980P as they are the same basic radio. I have the KG-1000G Plus. It is a very nice radio.

    Well that's what the ad copy says.

    Just looked it up on "Buy Two Way Radios" The H (ham) version has removable antenna's (comes with two) but the GMRS has a non removable antenna. I personally do not like that.
  11. WRWE456
    But at least it's "very easy to change the color".
  12. WRWE456
    Just thinking out loud here. Could it be that the proximity to the bigger antenna is amplifying the signal from the other antennas? They are made for the same frequencies. We are talking about electromagnetic radiation after all. An electromagnetic coupling in close proximity.
  13. WRWE456
    Would be interesting to know the range of the enhancement from the repeater. Did you test to see how far away you still get an improvement? Does it drop off gradually as you move away?

    I think the meeting was at a Chinese restaurant. Look at the decor.
  15. WRWE456
    They certainly can, if you have a good understanding of their capabilities, and have a plan, and practice that plan with your family. This is a good place to learn and ask questions.
  16. WRWE456
    Because it is not a GMRS radio. It is not certified by the FCC to operate on GMRS frequencies.
  17. WRWE456
    Welcome! Good choice it should serve you well. If I may ask, what is your purpose for using the GMRS?
  18. WRWE456
    One of the main reasons I bought the KG-935GPlus is because it does not need a computer to program.
  19. WRWE456
    What you may be missing is the purpose of GMRS. It is intended for family and groups to stay in touch. That's why your license covers your immediate family. It's not really about making random social contacts although some use it for that on repeaters. Could be there is just no one around that wants to talk to strangers. Ham radio is better if that is you goal.
  20. WRWE456
    Thanks for posting that. I learned quit a bit. So it seems that linked repeaters are not allowed. Got my popcorn.
  21. WRWE456
    Here is a good source for reasonably priced connectors: https://www.americanradiosupply.com/sma/?page=1
  22. WRWE456
    Glad to help. I do not have that radio or know anything about it so I will let others answer your questions about it. Just looked it up for reference: https://www.ameradio.com/product/5165/description.html is this the one? I assume it requires software to program do you have that? It could be a project to get it set up for GMRS. Good luck!
  23. WRWE456
    And one more. Welcome!
  24. WRWE456
    The Midlands are very basic radios. They do not have removable antennas so can not be upgraded or connected to a car antenna. They also do not use repeaters. They are fine for basic simplex use like camping with the family, hunting etc. I have six of them.

    WSAT598 that's a cool call sign! That Tiger Mt. repeater really has some reach. One thing to keep in mind with the whip antennas is to keep them vertical while transmitting. I believe that Abbree is a copy of the Nagoya NA-771G https://www.buytwowayradios.com/nagoya-na-771g.html?___SID=U which is a very good antenna. Is it as good as the Nagoya? I don't know. And of course getting outside and up high will help.
