    If someone wants to stay anonymous, getting a radio license isn't helping.

    Welcome. Use the search bar first, most likely your questions have already been answered. If not, ask away. There are many people here that very knowledgeable and experienced in radios.

    Yeah, I can't monitor two channels at the same time either. Just too confusing...oh wait, you meant...

    I've gotten to where I say very slowly so I don't have to say it again. Sometimes I even say it phonetically for that very reason. For me, it can be frustrating when people say their call sign so fast I can't even begin to get it all. It's like saying ";alkdsjflsd;kjewl;knf;aej." And I'm like what?

    I thought those were racing stripes.

    That thought entered my head as well then I thought it would probably be a lot harder to hit it dead on and keep it going that to be off a little and dampen it. PS I'm no sound engineer, but I do play one on TV.

    @back4more70 I can't believe I'm out of reactions again! I've got to come back to this one!

    @dmg1969 Welcome to myGMRS.com.

    I don't think Baofeng monitors this forum.

    Hams do talk about other things but yes, ham equipment is a big topic. Ham has a lot of bands and modes and therefore there is a lot to talk about when it comes to equipment.

    Dude.. The chicks must be flocking to you! I need to make a leather holster for my Kenwood TH-75A. Not for the chicks, just because I want to. @scott418 Sorry, haven't used Windows 7 in several years. Hope you get it figured out.

    Won't be in that area but thanks for pointing this out. 94% in Houston but we may travel up to my son's house in Proctor where it will be 100%.

    The "request access" button is always there. In general, when it says "open" you do not need permission to use the repeater. I have seen at least one repeater (can't remember which one) where it was open but the owner stated that he only wanted people he knew personally using it. It's always best to read the description to make sure.

    Do a search on the forums for Broadnet. Maybe even a Google search. Seems like I saw some complaints like your a few months ago. If I recall, they suddenly changed a bunch of stuff and some users did not know anything about it. My memory isn't as sharp as it used to be.

    More than half the cost of a new radio to replace a bad USB port! That's sick!
  16. WRXB215
    That's why I didn't respond. Didn't want to impose.
  17. WRXB215
    Yep, I understand innovation, invention, and generally trying new things but industry standards are also very important. It's unfortunate that there still is not an industry standard for digital radio and especially GPS.

    You need to understand how tones work. When a radio or in this case the repeater has an input tone, it will squelch out any signal that does not have that tone. So, the repeater will ignore you unless your signal has that tone. When the repeater sends out a signal with a tone, you can still hear it when you use no tone at all. But you also hear all other signals. To squelch out all the other signals and just hear the repeater, use the repeaters output tone.
  19. WRXB215
    Joining a club will not make the tones show up on myGMRS.com. You need to get the tones from the club or repeater owner.

    We have to keep in mind that the primary purpose of GMRS is for families and other small groups. Using repeaters is just a bonus. For everything else, HAM is the way to go.

    I'm pretty sure distance would still be typical UHF distance.
  22. WRXB215
    I totally agree. If we the people don't take personal responsibility, the government will step in even more and then it won't be fun anymore.
  23. WRXB215
    @Sshannon & @Lscott thanks for the info.
  24. WRXB215
    Many radios have a "Stun" and a "Kill" feature. Sounds like it may be in the "Stunned" state. @Lscott is a Kenwood man, maybe he can shed some light on this.
  25. WRXB215
    Sounds like what I read in the manuals of CCRs.
