    This ^^^^ Not to mention the desense problem when trying to use two HTs to build a repeater.

    Stackoverflow is a technical discussion forum. It uses a voting system just like @SteveShannon described and it is working just fine. Nothing wrong with having just one area on this site with the same voting system. And as someone pointed out, you can still sort by date/time.

    Doh! It's a repeater. Sorry!
  4. WRXB215
    Your TX and RX frequencies are reversed.
  5. WRXB215
    So do I.

    @WSAW899 As you can see, GMRS can be used in an emergency but that is not what it is intended for. GMRS is intended for families and other small groups to keep in touch with each other. Camping, hiking, off-roading are just a few examples.

    As long as your "base station" isn't transmitting at more than 50watts, and you are not causing interference, I doubt the FCC is going to care.

    Make sure you have snapped the connector into the radio all the way. It is very tight on my MP31 radios.

    @WSEB618 Welcome to GMRS!

    Well said. It's hard to tell how much it's actually being use via repeaters much less simplex. I suspect there is a lot more simplex traffic than we realize. How would the rest of us know if some family or other small group was using GMRS unless we were very close to them and on the same channel.

    I love typos like this.

    Your license covers your grandson as well. One of the perks of GMRS.

    If there is at least one FRS radio in the group, set all to narrow. If there are NO FRS radios in the group, set all to wide.

    @desertbird I'm not sure what you mean by "locked up." GMRS radios are usually locked via the firmware such that neither the OEM software nor CHIRP can change them outside of regulation. Also, as far as I know the GM30 and GM15 aren't yet supported by CHIRP. If this has changed, please let me know.

    Oh you could have fun with IT with that one.

    There is also an actual Baofeng GM15 software but I had to send Guido to beat it out of them. Don't know why they make it so hard to get.
  18. WRXB215
    Possibly the wisest thing ever said on any radio forum.
  19. WRXB215
    I don't know how long it's been this way and I may be misunderstanding exactly what it means but under "My Repeaters" there are two tabs, one for Favorite Repeaters and one for Owned Repeaters. Perhaps this will help.

    @desertbird the decimal mismatch. There is a thread here where a couple of people did a firmware upgrade and it fixed that problem. I still haven't done it on mine because I don't use these radios with a repeater so it doesn't matter in my case.
  21. WRXB215
    I disagree. All my radios are cheap and serve me just fine.
  22. WRXB215
    @desertbird what radio are you using? If it's a GM15 or a GM30 you will probably have to do a firmware upgrade to fix the problem.
  23. WRXB215
    Frequency
  24. WRXB215
    The number in a ham license indicates geographic region but no such indicator for GMRS.

    @koni13 meet @OffRoaderX, the queen of all things GMRS.
