  1. I've been using a UT-72 with an AT778-UV for more than an year now and have not had any problems. I almost always get good reports. When I don't get a good report, there is usually an obvious reason like weather, distance, trees, buildings, etc. This is a very inexpensive setup and I'm quite pleased with it.

    Guess my OCD took me down the rabbit hole

    LOL! I could have given a better explanation as well. 😆

    GMRS is a "channelized" service. As such the frequencies it's allowed to transmit on are hard coded into channels. When in Memory(channel) mode, you are locked down to transmitting on only the approved frequencies and are therefore allowed to transmit. In VFO mode, you have virtually infinite frequency adjustment in the band as Steve indicated. That is why you can only listen in with VFO mode but you can transmit in Memory mode.

    This is grandpa.  There’s a huge grizzly in the area. I want you to come back to the cabin. I’m sorry I let you play with the salmon guts before going into the wood.  Make a lot of noise while you’re walking. Scream if you need me. WROM258.

    If you go ht to mag mount for a vehicle make sure to get the proper sma to nmo or pl259 type connector adapters.

    Some antennas come with that adapter which is nice. The Nagoya UT72/UT72G are such antennas. It's actually an adapter cable. The cable is very flexible and reduces the strain on the SMA on the radio.
