  1. LOL! Yep, monitoring both services at the same time can be interesting. So far, no one has chewed me out but a few have laughed about it.
  2. @OffRoaderX That's a nice looking scope. And the size, weight, and overall design make it look like you could throw it in a backpack.
  3. We want to see the sticker.
  4. @WRQI663 I can't see the dead sticker either. I don't have you in my ignore list.
  5. I have "compliant" radios. They do exactly what I tell them.
  6. @Crabby you, sir, are a master of words and wisdom.
  7. Maybe an antenna switch and a second antenna.
  8. This is starting to make sense to me. I don't think I've ever seen a serial cable that delivered data and also power. There are however USB cables that deliver data and power. That being said, I think you are right that you will have to get the other cable so that you can deliver the power and data. Or just connect power and data separately.
  9. @Chunky1 does the supplied cable connect to what appears to be a serial port?
  10. @SteveShannon Wow! That friend of your does some amazing work.
  11. It's been a while since I did any star gazing but I really enjoyed it. I only have a very cheap telescope and binos but it's still fun.
  12. Let us know how it goes.
  13. Still only shows the DB25-G, not the DB20-G.
  14. I wouldn't think 3' would produce significant loss. Especially if you are doing HF.
  15. @nokones I'm starting to think you suffer from Baofeng Derangement Syndrome.
  16. My CCRs are even cheaper and I don't have these problems. Can't imagine paying $400+ when I don't need to.
  17. My 771s are Abbree. So far so good.
  18. As @kidphc indicated, matching the bandwidth of the repeater is always going to give you better results than a mismatch.
  19. Yep, even the Baofeng MP31(2 watt radio) has a power setting for all but the .5 watt channels(8-14).
  20. You just can't help yourself can you.
  21. Sounds like desense. Put some distance between the two and try again.
  22. @nokones expressed it well. After hurricane Beryl, the only coms I had for a few days was GMRS and ham radio which worked very well. But that was NOT an SHFT situation and there were repeaters that were still available. Under a real SHFT, radios may not be as useful as we would like.
  23. As you can derive from @gortex2 post, narrowband isn't really a bad thing. You just have to use what the repeater is using.
