    It would have helped if they had chosen some other terminology besides "polarity."

    Like you, I'm dual licensed so I just argue with myself.

    @WSCA774 I used https://hamstudy.org/ mostly. They have a phone app as well. The explanations are good but don't hesitate to use google to find out more. I want to get the ARRL books some day for reference.

    Same.

    @Sshannon, @OffRoaderX Sorry, my bad, I've gotten behind on the videos.

    That's what I don't like about some cables, they will only charge.

    Where did you buy it? Radioddity indicates it comes with one both in the picture and down further under "What’s in the box?"

    @Taz670 Oh you've done it now! You've entered the rabbit hole and you will never be the same! Welcome and have fun.

    Dorothy: How can you talk if you have no brain? Scarecrow: Oh there are lots of people without brains that do a great deal of talking. Here is a link to some basic GMRS info. Welcome to GMRS.

    Just an FYI, If you want to give people a general location without being too specific you can use what is called a Maidenhead Grid Square location.

    Your biggest issue will be terrain between the houses and the repeater. 30' sounds nice but could be worthless in the wrong terrain. Make sure you can get line-of-sight from each house to the repeater and you will be ok. The line-of-sight doesn't have to be perfect like a laser but the closer the better. If you still have trees in the way, more power will come into play to get through them.

    Bingo! Very well said.

    @WRDJ205 I use that same mic when I'm at the park. Not a bad mic realy.

    It's weird how some people will whisper on the radio. As if they don't way anyone to hear them.

    Welcome earthlings.

    @Davichko5650 I don't know what "caterwauling" is, but I'm pretty sure I agree with you.

    Repeaterbook is primarily for ham repeaters. They added GMRS but isn't very well populated yet and will likely never catch up to myGMRS.com for GMRS repeaters. For GMRS, like @WRQC527 indicated, myGMRS.com is the gold standard.

    They have been making changes to the website and may have introduced a bug. Have you used the "Admin Contact" link to let them know you are having a problem?
  19. WRXB215
    My CCR has a little button on the side that I push and talk to people.
  20. WRXB215
    I'm with you on this one "till the wheels come off!"
  21. WRXB215
    It will probably have that same channel 15 bug as a lot of radios.

    If you are in an older neighborhood, you may be ok. If you are in a newer neighborhood, think in the future. Those trees may be young and have a lot of growing to do. While you are going through the trouble and expense of putting up an antenna, it might be good to make sure the height is good for several years. That way you are out there trying to raise it in a year or two.

    @WSCJ959 Read this for an explanation.

    There are still some in my area but I think they are reserved for emergency use. Ever since I started using the automobile insurance "safe pilot" app, I've realized it would be nice if I could use autopatch to call my wife while I'm stuck in traffic. That way I could talk to her and let her know I'm going to be late and still not get dinged on my insurance.

    Then US repeaters will not be of any use to you. If you are just wanting to participate in the forum, you can continue to do so just the way you are doing it now.
