  1. This is the thing... everyone says some variant of "It's in the settings somewhere". My whole questions has been... WHERE??? After fiddling around, I think I might have figured this out, but as I'm not getting any response to my radio checks, maybe not. If anyone can post how, exactly, to make this work, that'd be great. If I get a response somewhere else or finally puzzle it out myself, I'll try to remember to come back and leave the answer.
  2. A repeater I use a lot now requires this. I have a four digit code, but cannot for the life of me figure out where to program it with CHIRP. The radio is currently set to "80808" but I don't see that anywhere.
  3. In northeastern Arizona, on Porter Mountain (outside of Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside) there's a "2". Click on it, and there's only one, Porter Mountain 525. And I just noticed for Greens Peak farther east, same thing... but there are two repeaters there, 575 and 700. One seems to have vanished from MyGMRS
  4. I noticed that, above the memories I've programmed in, there are L1, U1, L4, U4, L5, and U5 memories. They don't show up in CHIRP. Anyone know where they come from, how I can remove? Page 14 of the manual suggests they're upper & lower limits for scanning, but they're scanned like memories. I'd like to just turn them off, but the manual doesn't say how.
  5. Each line in my post has a link I know about those networks, and wanted to A) make sure others knew and see if anyone knew of any I don't.
  6. Same here. I got a Comet B-10NMO for the height, but it has terrible SWR for GMRS, so I replaced it with a Laird Phantom Elite GMRS antenna since that's where I am most of the time anyway. I'll look at that SBB1. Does it clear your garage door? How would it react to getting whacked on the top 2" or so each time I entered and left the garage?
  7. I live most of the time in Chandler (East valley) and part time in Show Low. Who else is out there? AZGMRS is the big state-wide organization. They run their own repeaters for members. It's $36 per year. SWCRS (Southwest Community Radio System) covers AZ and NM. It's free to join. We have some great repeaters and nets for members. WMVCRS (White Mountain Volunteer Community Radio System) covers northeastern AZ. They ask for a $5 monthly donation to help support their repeaters, which I believe are all open. I gladly contribute.
  8. In this case, the "source" is the org that runs the repeaters I'd just never noticed, because most repeaters don't mention (and are wideband)
  9. Some sources say that certain repeaters near me are narrowband. I realized all were set as wide. I'm fixing now, but what effect would having that wrong have?
  10. In "Cross Mode" column, select "Tone->DTCS" It'll ask you to set the TX tone (103.5) and ten the RX DTCSS (503).
  11. Anyone else going? I'll be monitoring White Tanks A
  12. When something breaks squelch on one of the four bands on my UV25-X2, the arrow for the primary band hops over to that band. I want to stop that from happening. Page 50 of the manual seems to address that, maybe, but turning TMR-MR to OFF isn't fixing. What am I missing? ETA: Someone suggested menu 60, TMR-TX to FIXED, but that was already the case.
  13. So, somehow while fiddling around, I "fixed" this. It still says MUTE, but that switches back and forth with A/B and I can hear on the B side. I wish I knew what I did!
  14. I'll try that, but I'd expect both bands to be muted.
