  1. @desertbird to answer your actual question, the Retevis RA87 is a 40 watt that is CHIRP compatible. There are others, 40 and 50 watt. Just do a google search.
  2. I've used a UV-5R GMRS on wide band with an MP31 and they worked just fine together.
  3. We just went through a hurricane and could only communicate via ham and GMRS and my wife still isn't interested.
  4. I need to get my extra license but keep putting it off. Maybe if we have a race it will get me off my keister and doing some regular study.
  5. Did it ask for a password or does your account simply need admin privileges?
  6. I hate it when programs are written like that. You should be able to work local without being connected to the internet. Especially with radio CPS.
  7. I suppose the speaker itself could be part of the problem. You never know.
  8. Aluminum is fine for a ground plane. It's the lip mount that may be problem. If that is how you are going to keep the antenna mounted, you may want to try an antenna that doesn't need a ground plane. @SteveShannon beat me to the punch but I'm posting anyway.
  9. It can sometimes take a few days for the data to update from the FCC database to the myGMRS.com database.
  10. It can be a little confusing at first but here is the documentation on the columns.
  11. I took my UV-5R8W and stuck the antenna up my right nostril, pushed the PTT button, and blew my brains out my left ear. I got better. @USNCB Welcome to myGMRS.com. You are going to love it here.
  12. As long as channel 45 on your radio is not a repeater channel you can use it for simplex. At least that is what I assume you mean when you say "just for my family." You will have to check with your local emcom groups to see it they use GMRS, what channel(s) they use and what tones they my be using. As far as off-roading, use whatever channel or channels your group wants to use. It's always a good idea to make sure you aren't stepping on any conversations already in progress.
  13. I hope they don't explode.
  14. @Lscott Is one of the best go-tos for all things Kenwood. I'm sure he'll be along with some info.
