@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.

@SteveShannon does he go over the hardware involved or just the software?

Isn't that a VHF radio?

How do you know, you don't have any cheap radios.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Find the repeater channel that coresponds to the repeater frequency. Enter the repeater input tone into your radios TX. You can leave the RX blank for now, it just filters out the signals you don't want to hear.

Why you had to answer like this is beyond me.

@prmirage don't let @Socalgmrs talk you into throwing your radio in the trash.

I have a multi pack of O-rings I bought somewhere and found the right size in that pack.

@SteveShannon thanks for the clarification. Maybe it was the testing fee. Anyway, good info.

I use Just Learn Morse Code on the desktop and Morse Code on my android phone. Beware when using wireless headphones or wireless earbuds. I think they have a tendency to "sleep" or some other kind of switching very quickly to preserve battery. This results in missing the first dit or dah sometimes and it doesn't seem to matter which program or computer/phone I'm using. Also, while you are studying for the test, think about taking the tech and general in the same session. It will save you one $35 fee and also open up a lot more privileges on HF so you have more spectrum to use for CW. Edit: See @SteveShannon clarification below.

It will look just like a pepper shaker on the table. No one will know the difference. If you link to one or more words like this, it will be fine. Just highlight the words and then click on the little chain next to the quote marks above the text area.

Why is Animal Farm popping into my head?

Sounds like something the queen @OffRoaderX would say, and probably has.

That ^^^^ Since the purpose and intent of ham and GMRS are drastically different, it makes sense that the privileges are also drastically different and shouldn't be mixed. Listening is one thing, broadcasting is another, and two-way communications is yet another.

If you do that, you will likely not be within the GMRS regulations.

The GM-30 and the DB20G do have the +5 offset on the repeater channels. Just pick the correct channel and add the input tone for the repeater.

This is just ridiculous. Along with everything else you just said.

Man, that looks like some kind of expensive RC.

I think you have to be premium to do that.

What? No rag chew? Oh man.

What's really cool is that those things actually work. The have a small setup at the air and space museum in Alamogordo NM and it works surprisingly well. Also, there is a park in Baytown that has a small half-circle thing that works.

You must be clairvoyant. How can anyone possible predict such a thing.

Actually, I agree with the idea of keeping it simple.

Thimbles are a good idea even if you don't use wire.
