  1. That's strange, I've never seen that before. Perhaps @rdunajewski was testing a new feature?
  2. This is exactly where I see the GM-30. It's a great radio for that but buyers do need to know what they are getting. I have heard somewhere on this forum that there is a fix for some of the repeater channel issues.
  3. Yep, I think only the extended battery has that. But I'm not even sure about that since I don't have one. I've wondered if you could make one.
  4. It's not uncommon to be able to activate the repeater but not be able to get a readable signal through.
  5. I use plain spelling unless the person on the other end has trouble understanding me. Then I use the NATO phonetic alphabet to clear it up. B and V sometimes get confused and also D and T.
  6. Please don't double post.
  7. Is there a repeater involved? Are they using the same tones?
  8. @dosw thanks, I usually give that link but had a brain fart this time.
  9. I got a kick out of this one, thought I would share.
  10. "Today is today and yesterday was today yesterday. Tomorrow will be today tomorrow. So, live today so the future today will be as the past today, as it is tomorrow." My head hurts now.
  11. Apparently it's working. I'm a tightwad and I've bought several.
  12. @offroadkid Welcome to GMRS and glad you got it working. Read this to get a better understanding of the chirp columns. It can be a little confusing at first but you will get the hang of it.
  13. I agree except when you have to fight the foliage as I have to where I live. In that case, the extra wattage does help.
  14. Nice, I think that's the one that has a jumper to switch it to 10M at about 25W.
  15. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
  16. And I pray China doesn't treat Taiwan the way they treated Hong Kong.
  17. Same
  18. I agree with @AdmiralCochrane. I studied for both. Got 100% on the tech and 80something on the general. The difference in HF privileges is quite substantial between tech and general.
  19. Is Tapatalk really that much better? My phone keeps asking me if I want to use it.
  20. The technology exists and is in use but not readily available to the masses. I did see a project that is working towards this.
  21. I've been wondering about that myself. Very interesting.
  22. Because...because... OK, point made.
