  1. I wonder what it took the get the FCC to send that one letter to that one guy? Whoever prompted that action should publish an FCC How To.
  2. Yep, the FCCs website and database have been in need of a major upgrade for a long time now.
  3. Power and Line Of Sight is not straight forward enough for a blanket statement. Which is why so many answers are prefaced with "it depends."
  4. @WRTC928 sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. I was seriously looking at that radio about a year ago. I'm currently using an AnyTone AT-778UV and it is working well for my.
  5. Aluminum works but if the mount is on some king or skinny rail, it won't work as well. You need to have about 6" of surface if I remember correctly.
  6. NO! Because I have trees, so it's not fair!
  7. @WSGC746 It's an advertising blunder. Not uncommon for the advertising people to have no clue what they are talking about.
  8. Who you calling a freak?
  9. Although the situation you describe certainly does happen, verify your testing method. Often times voice is getting through the repeater but the person's test method is faulty and they think they aren't getting through. The most common problem in this is the transmit radio and the receive radio being too close together creating desence on the receive radio essentially causing it to "go deaf" to the repeater.
  10. @WRQC527 I've seen some pretty big car fires but that one takes the cake. Surely that picture is from a movie right? right?
  11. It flew directly over me today and I was going to try to get through the pileup but I got busy forgot.
  12. Make sure the FRS radio doesn't have a tone set on the RX
  13. Well, for some of us, the price is laughable.

    Because they only made one.
  15. Yep, I couldn't get in last night but obviously I can this morning.
  16. You might start by checking power level and bandwidth. Also, don't expect too much from a ghost antenna.
  17. The radio eats them.
  18. @WSFM396 welcome to GMRS.
  19. @nokones nice job. Always good to document things like this.
  20. I've tried G4Fon but I couldn't get the Farnsworth timing to work.
  21. My UV-5R8W works on MURS. Who said that?!
  22. Looks exactly like the Baofeng MP31. Apparently the same thing just different service. I have enjoyed my MP31s. They have better sound quality that my UV-5Rs. Not as much power but enough for what I use them for.
  23. @WRKY933 good tip. I haven't had that exact problem but I have had a similar problem. When I'm at the park throwing the Frisbee for the dog, I keep the radio on my belt just over my back right pocket. Sometimes as I walk, the volume gets turned down so I can't hear anything. The O-ring should help with that as well. PS I think Harbor Freight is where I got my box of O-rings.
  24. @SteveShannon does he go over the hardware involved or just the software?
