You can copy memories like your channels, but the radio specific settings will not, as they are like radio specific firmware. 

That ^^^^^

If you’re grounding an antenna ground it outside. Don’t invite lightning into your house. 
 
Here’s the best short document on antenna grounding that I know of:

Okay a grounding rod outside it is. Thanks for all the help.

Yeah, a "Let's Bash Randy" thread isn't a good idea on a GMRS forum.

Don Rickles made a very nice career insulting people. I hear he was a nice guy in real life.

Short answer: correct.

Nice to know. Thanks. 👍

I recently replaced my aging 1977 Montgomery Ward 702 base station with a Radioddity CB-500. Let me tell you... for a compact little $89 radio it's an excellent bang for the buck! AM/FM, 10 and 11 meter capable (by moving a jumper), NRC, echo, talkback, ctcss/dcs, weather channels, hi/low power, 7 color display, etc etc. It's basically a rebranded  AnyTone AT-500M II. I don't think you'll find better radios for the size and price honestly.

Repeater outputs are the simplex frequencies

But if you looked at his picture it clearly showed GMRS22. That's not RPT22. Second, he didn't say he was getting "blown away by static." In fact what we hear sounds like someone is transmitting digitally on the channel. And finally there's no reason for squelch to not work on an SOC radio. 

You might not be on a repeater channel.  1-22 are simplex channels, which transmit on the same frequency they receive. But there are eight repeater channels which allow the repeater to transmit while simultaneously receiving.  Doing both at the same time is called Duplex. Different manufacturers denote those channels differently.  Some continue the numbering scheme and refer to them as channels 23-30, others repeat the 15-22 numbers but prepend or append RP to the channel, like 15RP, to indicate that they are repeater channels.
Repeaters receive on the 467 MHz main frequencies and transmit at exactly the same time on the 462 MHz main channels. That’s referred to as an offset and it is generally exactly 5.000 MHz for UHF channels (in ham radio also). They need an offset to be able to transmit while receiving. So, in your radio there should be eight repeater channels which are programmed to receive on exactly the same 462.xxx frequencies as 15-22, but which transmit on the main 467.xxx frequencies, where xxx is typically the same for both.  You need to use one of those.
 

Hey, you're new and only been a GMRS licensee for 4 months and with a post like that not having any respect for the Queen you more than likely will never make the "Righteous Dude" List.

I don't doubt that it's better but I do question whether or not it's 10 times better.

I've never met this Roger Beep, but he sure does get people talking!

The TD-H3s have 2 different roger beeps. 1 is a traditional 'melody', the other is like that old Motorola noise.
Some radios have a 'Repeater Confirmation' or 'Squelch Tail' setting that will, near as I can tell, make the radio transmit an extremely brief burst of static similar to (but not nearly as ear piercing as) the Motorola sound, that I find less annoying.
I have a couple of radios that really make zero sound when you let off the PTT that I have used that option on so there's SOME audible indication, without a full on roger beep.

Another reason I’m mad I don’t own a retivis. 

I'm gonna find a way to make a radio that sends a fart sound instead of a roger beep.
As soon as I finish cyberattacking the ARRL, that is.

Someone Tweeted this on the X: 
 

Based on all your multiple previous comments about how EVERY person you know dumps EVERY radio (Midland, Retevis, TidRadio, Wouxun) unless that radio happens to be the same brand of radios that you use, it is becoming clear that you don't actually know anyone.  
... Or, you are just F.O.S.
But either way, your mythomaniac comments are great for pointing at and laughing so keep up the good work!
