    This is true but lets not forget the house. @seanpatrickrice what are you going to use for a power supply for the house?
  2. WRXB215
    Hunters may be more inclined to use simplex or a portable repeater.

    Just curious, why an ammo can for a base station. Is it also going to be a go box?
  4. WRXB215
    No, it's not "back."
  5. WRXB215
    Not sure this is the problem but on some radios a quick press of the power button will mute.

    @WRKS933 welcome.

    @WSFA347 Welcome to GMRS. Lots of good info here.

    @WRTT642 Those are cool. I'd like to get a pair some day but I have other purchases that are ahead of that for now.

    Hello!

    WRXB215 replied to WSEW200's topic in General Discussion

    @WSEW200 welcome!

    That's interesting. I suppose if you combined that with the proximity feature in RepeaterBook, you could get exactly what @WRXR374 is looking for. You could give it a radius from your location and it would show all repeaters that (theoretically) cover your location.
  11. WRXB215
    I love the way you put it.

    I use an 8watt HT sometimes (UV-5R8W) but never notice it getting hot on full power. It does run the battery down faster but I don't have any quantitative data for you.

    @WRYS709 I use Windows 10 and haven't had any driver issues. I had to use the CPS to set the frequency range but after that it has all been CHIRP.

    @BradleyRN Paying for a premium membership on my GMRS.com doesn't automatically send a request to a specific repeater owner for tones to the repeater. You need to make a specific request to the repeater owner.
  15. WRXB215
    I see what you are saying now. That would be a nice feature.
  16. WRXB215
    Irregular propagation makes this difficult. RepeaterBook has a "proximity" search but that isn't going to tell you any more than the map on myGMRS.com. There is a group researching making detailed propogation maps available but I don't remember who it was or what their progress is.

    @WRYS709 Yes, USB to RJ-45 just like what @amaff shows in the picture of the 779. Plugs right into the mic socket.
  18. WRXB215
    @WRYS709 Sorry, no I don't have one (yet). I've been thinking about getting one for my wife's car, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Too many other things have come up lately.
  19. WRXB215
    I can confirm myself that the AnyTone AT-778UV is chirp compatible. It's the radio I have in my truck and I just can't seem to settle on a code plug.

    @WSFB947 Welcome to GMRS.
  21. WRXB215
    Interesting, they even say themselves that it is an "Extremely" popular radio.
  22. WRXB215
    It does seem like this radio would be supported since it is so popular. I guess people like it so much they aren't willing to give one up for development purposes.
  23. WRXB215
    What @Socalgmrs said is true most of the time. I have a fring case where I can not activate a particular repeater from my house on medium power but I can with high power. It is a UV-5R8W and there are a lot of trees and houses I have to deal with. In this case the extra power does make a difference.
  24. WRXB215
    Smile when you say "Texas"

    The letters issue kind of reminds me of the way the letters in the Ionosphere regions came to be. Maybe the lines just evolved over time in a similar fashion.
