    Welcome @Lman57.

    This cannot be stressed enough. People routinely talk to the space station using 5 watt radios and it’s more than 200 miles away, but there’s nothing in the way. I agree. It would be nice if I could get that kind of line-of-sight. But I can't. Some of us just can't get an antenna up above the 100'+ trees around us.

    It depends on the radio. Some radios come with very good stock antennas. That being said, I've used dual band VHF/UHF ham antennas on my GMRS radios and they worked just fine. No doubt a GMRS specific antenna will work better but the dual bands have worked just fine for me.

    I have that same radio. I used the Set software to select the frequency range and after that I use chirp. Have saved several files with chirp with no problem.

    Like @amaff I prefer the 701s. In my very limited tests, I don't get enough out of the 771s to make them worth the trouble.

    I do a lot of rag chewing at the edge of my fars.

    I use the AT-778UV daily. It gets hot but apparently not too hot for the radio. If I ever get time, I'm going to pull the fan out of an old laptop and mount it on the heatsink just for good measure.

    OK, you guys made me look.

    @thenols GMRS is allowed to transmit a very short burst of digital. See this radio for example.

    It has nothing to do with the brand of radio. It is simply not a GMRS frequency and therefore a GMRS radio of any brand will not transmit on that frequency. Many brands have radios, business or ham, that will transmit on that frequency not just Baofeng.

    This is the nature of most of what I hear and take part in where I live. Both GMRS and ham. There are technical discussions about radios, but that seems to be about 30-40% of the time.

    And the humidity was through the roof early when we started putting up antennas. We were all drenched is sweat by the time we were done. As the sun burned off the excess humidity and the breeze started, it got much more comfortable. Still hot but bearable.

    Use The Force Kenny.

    I wish I had thought of that.

    GRMS Needed?

    Ultimately only you can answer that question.

    I like the idea that it was a "heads up" but then the whole thing sours when asking for a list of users.

    Here is the link to the license search page. I think I'm one of the few who actually got the email.

    I plan on being at Bayland Park. Hope the mosquitos aren't as bad as they were last time I was there.

    @WSAR216 What are you using to program the radio? OEM software, CHIRP, front plate...?
