    Maybe I should take an HT and test all my GFCI outlets.

    @WSEV474KennyS Welcome to GMRS. There is a wealth of knowledge here.

    The radios are probably too close together and you are experiencing desense. Get someone to help and move the HT 50 feet away and try again.

    UV-5R vs UV-5G

    I'd rather hand my non-amateur licensed family members a locked GMRS radio and not worry about them accidently keying up on an amateur frequency.

    I'm surprised at that. But then again, I suppose I shouldn't be.
  6. WRXB215
    I respect your opinion but this part is absolutely not true.

    They may be on a repeater or just using tones simplex. Read up on repeaters and tones. It's called Chinglesh and by the time you learn it you will already be an expert on your radio.

    LOL! I'm quite embarrassed now for not getting that.

    @stoutryan Wow! Texas to Oregon is a long way. That might draw too much attention.

    @WRUU653 Is that a pair of Drive-In speakers in the background? That's awesome!

    @quarterwave Unfortunately "sad hams" do exist. I wish it weren't so, and I've been lucky not to encounter them myself yet, but I'm aware that they do exist.
  12. WRXB215
    @gortex2 I'm curious also. Do you mean like a unibit or one of those expensive dedicated bits?

    @WSFL639 Welcome to GMRS. Lots of mobile radios to choose from. Price and quality both have a fairly large range. The DB-20G is very affordable and is a very popular radio. It goes up from there depending on what you want.

    He is wanting to register on myGMRS.com. He can't do that until the myGMRS.com database has been updated with his call sign from the FCC database which isn't as straight forward as you think. Rich just explained this in another thread.

    @rdunajewski I wouldn't want to add more work for you but that does sound like a good solution.
  16. WRXB215
    I'm sorry to hear you say that. I haven't given up hope yet.
  17. WRXB215
    @WRWE456 just because the FCC allows a family to use a single license, that does not mean the registration for this form works that way. Rich can program it however he wants. Maybe he has programmed that way or maybe he intends to some day. I can tell you, as a programmer myself, that not every feature is as easy as people think.

    @WSFK616 welcome to GMRS.
  19. WRXB215
    @JB007Rules sorry to hear that it has come to this. I know I could never afford such an endeavor and I am grateful for all those that make repeaters available to the rest of us.
  20. WRXB215
    RepeaterBook?
  21. WRXB215
    That is exactly how it is supposed to work in the US. But for some reason there are "some people" who now think you can't do any until the gobment tells you you can. Don't get me started!
  22. WRXB215
    @GreggInFL Your link is to the Baofeng GM-15 Pro. You state that it can be programmed with CHIRP. As far as I can tell, it is still not in CHIRP. Are you able to use a different radio in CHIRP to program it? Thanks.
  23. WRXB215
    He said they were "ham-like users" which suggests to me they were GMRS user acting like sad hams. But yes, it they were using GMRS frequencies for ham radio use, that would be one complaint I'm sure the FCC would look into.
  24. WRXB215
    If it is that big of a hassle and it is useless, I would just pull the plug and walk away. Spend your resources on something else.
  25. WRXB215
    I like to refer to this as a radio's "sense of self preservation."
