What do you mean by "expand the frequencies?" Do you mean outside of the GMRS frequencies?
-
Not sure what's up with Broadnet. All I've heard the last few months is "I can't connect."
-
@Lscott probably has a PDF on this. I'm sure he will respond soon. There are others who are also quite familiar with Kenwood. If it can be done, they will show you the way soon. Welcome to GMRS.

I've been quite happy with my AT-778UV. It's not perfect but it works quite well for the money. The only thing I've found so far that I can't do in CHIRP is change the frequency set. No big deal since I only changed it once and will never change it again.

Updated FCC rule 95.1749 now includes “or other networks” Jan 2024
WRXB215 replied to cozy659's topic in FCC Rules Discussion
Is a repeater considered a "station?" -
An amplifier might work for you.

It might look funny but it will work on the hood. Closer to center is always best but you may have trouble noticing a difference between center and to the side. Many people claim that if you have a 6" border around the base it is enough. Some people claim you need even less than that. In the end, you are probably going to buy a different mount and antenna to get the best look and performance.

I did a recent test on a couple of HTs that enlightened me on that one. A good quality receiver does make a significant difference. Now, when I listen to NOAA, I only do it on the Kenwood. Agreed. I have a lot of trees to punch through so wattage does come into play for me. Still want to get a higher antenna though and get some real results.

Didn't see that one coming. And $7.99 isn't bad. Thanks for the info.

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...
-
Can you reduce syllables in your call sign ("Ten" instead of "One-Zee-Roh")?

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.

Anybody seen the new Retevis (Ailunce) HA1G radio?
WRXB215 replied to WRPL700's topic in Equipment Reviews
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!
