    OK, now you've done it. You've gone and made me cry. I'm taking my toys and going home. Seriously though, I wasn't trying to dictate any kind of requirement. Using a unit number or some other id like first name or nick name can help avoid confusion. People use to always confuse my father and I because we sounded so much alike. My mother and my sisters sounded a lot alike as well.

    You and your family members should use the call sign plus a unit number.

    I just now looked at a handful of them. Only one in that group appears to be linked. Also, most of them are closed patch but there are a few that are open.

    Yep. No hurricane, tornado, earthquake, war, etc. Yet it still happened. We are more vulnerable than most people think.

    Welcome to GMRS. If you do go for your ham license, Long Island has some great clubs.

    I was surprised to find at least 13 ham repeaters in the Houston area with this.

    @Lscott Here is my dad's old slide rule. I used to know how to use it. https://forums.mygmrs.com/gallery/image/419-slide_rulejpg/?context=new

    What do you mean by "expand the frequencies?" Do you mean outside of the GMRS frequencies?
  10. WRXB215
    Not sure what's up with Broadnet. All I've heard the last few months is "I can't connect."

    @Lscott probably has a PDF on this. I'm sure he will respond soon. There are others who are also quite familiar with Kenwood. If it can be done, they will show you the way soon. Welcome to GMRS.

    I've been quite happy with my AT-778UV. It's not perfect but it works quite well for the money. The only thing I've found so far that I can't do in CHIRP is change the frequency set. No big deal since I only changed it once and will never change it again.

    Is a repeater considered a "station?"
  14. WRXB215
    An amplifier might work for you.
  15. WRXB215
    It might look funny but it will work on the hood. Closer to center is always best but you may have trouble noticing a difference between center and to the side. Many people claim that if you have a 6" border around the base it is enough. Some people claim you need even less than that. In the end, you are probably going to buy a different mount and antenna to get the best look and performance.

    I did a recent test on a couple of HTs that enlightened me on that one. A good quality receiver does make a significant difference. Now, when I listen to NOAA, I only do it on the Kenwood. Agreed. I have a lot of trees to punch through so wattage does come into play for me. Still want to get a higher antenna though and get some real results.

    Didn't see that one coming. And $7.99 isn't bad. Thanks for the info.

    If someone wants to stay anonymous, getting a radio license isn't helping.

    Welcome. Use the search bar first, most likely your questions have already been answered. If not, ask away. There are many people here that very knowledgeable and experienced in radios.
  20. WRXB215
    Yeah, I can't monitor two channels at the same time either. Just too confusing...oh wait, you meant...
  21. WRXB215
    I've gotten to where I say very slowly so I don't have to say it again. Sometimes I even say it phonetically for that very reason. For me, it can be frustrating when people say their call sign so fast I can't even begin to get it all. It's like saying ";alkdsjflsd;kjewl;knf;aej." And I'm like what?
  22. WRXB215
    I thought those were racing stripes.
  23. WRXB215
    That thought entered my head as well then I thought it would probably be a lot harder to hit it dead on and keep it going that to be off a little and dampen it. PS I'm no sound engineer, but I do play one on TV.
  24. WRXB215
    @back4more70 I can't believe I'm out of reactions again! I've got to come back to this one!
