    @nokones Nice summary Kenny. Another little piece of history that I find fascinating is the use of reeds.

    Horizontal is used a lot for HF where you get skip but I doubt it would be useful for UHF. Especially since you will loose some because of the change in polarization.

    It seems to be a regional thing. Some people claim it's dead but around the greater Houston area, it's alive and well.

    Join the crowd. The only thing that holds me back is lack of funds.
  5. WRXB215
    I can't say for sure myself obviously but I've heard that you also get unlimited reactions.

    There may be some people still using nodes. If that is the case, they could be anywhere there is Internet.

    Double check the pinouts. Just because it is the same plug, doesn't mean it's wired the same.

    On our ham net last night it was announced that there is a new GMRS repeater in the area. That's another way to let people know in a "non-intrusive" way.

    I have no firsthand experience with the KG-1000G but I have heard nothing but good about it.
  10. WRXB215
    I love the way you put that. Yep, he's bad about that.

    Except in direct sunlight.

    If I remember correctly, it's going to be a long drive for that beer.

    @WSEM624 I would wish you luck but I know you don't need luck. You'll do just fine. BTW, it two-way-radios it's called "transmitting" not "broadcasting" </end sad-ham rant>

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

    @WSEV474KennyS Welcome to GMRS. There is a wealth of knowledge here.
  16. WRXB215
    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.
  18. WRXB215
    I'm surprised at that. But then again, I suppose I shouldn't be.
  19. WRXB215
    I respect your opinion but this part is absolutely not true.
  20. WRXB215
    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.
  21. WRXB215
    LOL! I'm quite embarrassed now for not getting that.
  22. WRXB215
    @stoutryan Wow! Texas to Oregon is a long way. That might draw too much attention.
  23. WRXB215
    @WRUU653 Is that a pair of Drive-In speakers in the background? That's awesome!
  24. WRXB215
    @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.
  25. WRXB215
    @gortex2 I'm curious also. Do you mean like a unibit or one of those expensive dedicated bits?
