    What have you tried so far? Where exactly are you stuck?
  2. WRXB215
    It's using a directional antenna. Unless you are in the path, you will have trouble with it.

    @WRZD720 Did you do like @WRPG745 said and set the power to high? If you are trying to punch through a bunch of trees, this is one place where power matters.

    @WRUU653 I don't have that radio but on mine (AT-778UV) it just means it is able to be activated. I have to push a button on the mic to actually make it active.

    A review I saw somewhere said that it has a steep learning curve but you will like it once you learn it. Hope that's the case.

    What is shown looks correct based on the tones given. Are you sure you have the right frequency?
  7. WRXB215
    Cool! Keep up updated on how it goes.

    I do not have experience with this radio yet but I am considering it as my first DMR radio. I will be watching this thread. Edit: Also, I'm interested in how it would do as a backpack radio.

    The FCC rarely enforces the rules that are clear much less the ones that are un-clear. I doubt this whole fixed/base issue is worth the energy being spent on it.

    Personally, I'd go for the Yeasu. It appears that the only "real" advantage of the Wouxon is that it is superheterodyne. But in comparison to the Yeasu, that may not be that big of a deal.

    I am a "programmer" and programing a radio is nothing like writing code. Randy, aka notarubicon, aka OffRoaderX, has some great videos and Josh, hrcc, has one that covers CHIRP very well. Look them up, they make the info very easy to digest.

    Not that I know of. If you find one, let me know.
  13. WRXB215
    Same for everyone else.

    I wouldn't give up on GMRS just yet. Ham does offer more options but you may still be able to get what you need with GMRS. Describe your last test a little more. Your antenna, buddies radio, trees, distance etc.

    Welcome to GMRS Addicts Anonymous. Yep, great bunch people here.

    LOL! I suppose it's because I've never installed Windows before I don't know what the install process looks like. I've installed various *nix systems and I use Windows daily but I've never installed Windows.

    @WRYS709 What do you mean when about activating it?
  18. WRXB215
    Good advice. And remember, UHF will only get you so far. That may be far enough but if you intend to reach for hundreds of miles, you are going to need HF. To use HF, you will need at least a Technician license. And that only gives you a little sliver of HF. Bumping up to General opens up much more HF.

    @Sshannon Ok, I get it now. I just wasn't seeing the target market. It's all making sense now. Even with so many of their advertising photos of farms I still missed it.
  20. WRXB215
    I agree. Another reason I'm very grateful to those who do.
  21. WRXB215
    Just save your batteries until everyone else's batteries die.
  22. WRXB215
    Midland radios may be common but I do not see them as any kind of standard for the industry at least as far as programming goes. They seem to be solid radios but I don't understand why they don't up their game in programming features.
  23. WRXB215
    Man, you are going through a string of bad luck. Hope you get what you are looking for soon.
  24. WRXB215
    LOL! Yep, reverse-psychology works well on children.
  25. WRXB215
    Yes, that would be nice.
