    My first thought was perhaps a radius/diameter issue. But after looking closer, it looks like maybe a typo 15/25. Outside that, I have no clue. BTW, thanks for making this repeater available. I don't go through that area much but it's nice to know it there when I do.

    @Lscott and @gortex2, maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't proper use of tones alleviate the problem of multiple repeaters in the same area on the same frequency?

    @WSAQ843 Welcome to myGMRS.com. As you can see, discussions can get heated at time but you'll find that it is mostly peaceful and a great community. I'm also in Texas and hope to hear you on the air either on GMRS or ham.

    I'm on Windows 10 and have never been able to get the sound to work.

    I can't blame you. I'd be leery myself. Surely there is some information on this somewhere. Have you contacted Wouxon?

    Well, if it's any consolation, you've convinced me it's a great radio. If I can ever afford one, I'll get it. I just won't tell anyone I'm also going to program it for...
  7. WRXB215
    Me neither.

    If it weren't for CCRs, I couldn't afford to get on the air. You see that Kenwood key fob/bottle opener in my signature? That's the only thing with Kenwood written on it I can afford.

    @Lscott Very good points.
  10. WRXB215
    No, obviously they don't. My point is, don't draw attention to yourself if you are operating on GMRS with non-GMRS radios.
  11. WRXB215
    You mean like this? No doubt he sent in the appropriate letter stating that he would cease and desist and that would be the end of it.
  12. WRXB215
    Not likely. This has been discussed ad-nauseum in a different thread. There are some for and some against but it seams the majority are against. The FCC isn't likely to give the issue any attention.

    There was a guy just a few months ago who was sited for using non-GMRS equipment on a GMRS repeater. That was not the primary focus of him getting in trouble. He was jamming a repeater and that is why they went after him. During their investigation they discovered he was using a non-GMRS radio and so they just threw that on the pile. I think it was the forth violation out of four violations sited.

    It's my understanding that "Dealer Mode" is for companies that rent radios to program them and then lock them from being changed by the users. I think BCI does this with the radios they rent. Edit: Actually, I think they do this for radios they sell as well. Makes sure the end user stays inside the bounds of their privileges.

    @WSAA652 Welcome. Lots of fun and resources here.

    I agree with you especially in light of the "life or property" clause. I would hate to be on a GMRS radio, bleeding out, can hear hams talking, but not be able to ask them for help.

    I can remember, as a kid, impatiently waiting for the TV (black & white) to warm up so I could watch my favorite shows.
  18. WRXB215
    Yep. This is a pet peeve of mine. There is a device that costs about $150 you can use to add it.
  19. WRXB215
    Where can I find one?
  20. WRXB215
    Saving it to buy a better radio.
  21. WRXB215
    @WSAN783 did you understand all the things @WRUU653 said?
  22. WRXB215
    Yeah, it seems the FCC has better things to do than go after the average citizen who is just doing what seems reasonable. And even when they do send out a letter, if you just respond to them with a plan of appropriate corrective action, that's the end of it.
  23. WRXB215
    LOL! I just tried transmitting on channel 15 on my UV-5R GMRS for apparently the first time ever and it would not transmit. 14 and 16 work just fine.
  24. WRXB215
    @Sshannon, @Tidycat, is it possible that the other antenna wasn't screwed down tight and was moving slightly?
