Certainly a possibility. As the shenanigans on the air increase, the frequency of tone changes increase as well.

why are there 2 channels shown on grms radios?
WRXB215 replied to WSCA774's topic in General Discussion
At least he's diligent to do his eye exercises.

That's my problem. I do better on the ground than on top of the house. To get above the thick part of the foliage, I'm going to have to get a lot higher than I can afford right now.

@warthog74 Good thing you didn't have to worry about OSHA.

I've been using chirp for my UV-5R8W for a few months now. I can't remember what I chose in the menu but it wasn't the BF-F8HP. If I have time during lunch today, I'll open chirp and get the radio out of the truck and see if I can figure out what I used. I haven't messed with it in a while.

@WQNG647 I'm not aware of any QRZ type databases for GMRS. Have you tried any local clubs?
-
Cool call sign though.
-
@WRXI489 I don't know of any GMRS clubs in area but if you post your current settings we may be able to help. Just smear out the actual tones if they aren't posted publicly.
-
Don't they provide legal help if you need it? If so, it might be worth renewing just for that bit of "insurance." Especially with HOAs being the way they are.

But I'm not "most people" I'm "some p..." wait, scratch that.

questions about entry level ham operation and testing..
WRXB215 replied to WRZF693's topic in Amateur Radio (Ham)
It's my understanding that there is a firmware update for the Quangsheng K5 that allows HF and even CW. It's an interesting radio. People can write their own firmware for it. -
@gortex2 I'm never bored but I'll probably read it anyway.
-
That ^^^^^
-
Wow, I didn't expect that. I thought my Garmin watch was slow when sometimes it would take up to a minute.
-
Yeah, a "Let's Bash Randy" thread isn't a good idea on a GMRS forum.
-
Short answer: correct.
-
Nice to know. Thanks.
-
Don Rickles made a very nice career insulting people. I hear he was a nice guy in real life.
-
I don't doubt that it's better but I do question whether or not it's 10 times better.
-
Yeah, everyone knows they got hacked. "CrazyRadioGuy" stuck his foot in his mouth.
-
No problem, QSL cards and snail mail to the rescue.
-
Not exactly a cheap radio so I'm surprised at the lack of tones.
-
That's the important part.
-
From what you've described, this sounds like the most likely scenario. Your friend could open squelch on the repeater but now can't, the owner must have changed the tone.
-
@n2877 The question isn't so much the range of the repeater. You are obviously in "hearing" range. The question is whether or not you can hit the repeater with your radio. As @BoxCar asked, how far are YOU from the repeater and is there anything in between to hinder YOUR signal like trees, houses, etc.
