    I asked QRZ to delete my record from their database for privacy reasons. They did. If you look up my callsign, it says it does not exist. Funny how many hams I work on the air that tell me I'm using an illegal callsign now - as if QRZ is the official keeper of callsigns. I tell them to look it up on the FCC database and get back to me if it bothers them that much.

    I believe that this debate will continue until the FCC provides a specific clarification on what "Or any Other Network" means or until some type of enforcement action takes place to make it clear. Until then, it's vague language and open for interpretation.

    OP said that more hams were available (to help I assume), so my understanding is that he got on the repeater asking for help as an experiment. I could be wrong. Either way, I'm just shaking my head. Reminds me of a story involving a boy and a wolf...

    So if I understand your experiment correctly, you were calling for help when you didn't actually need help? Just to see if anyone would answer your call? Got it.

    I have 2 of them. No nonsense, built solid for my purposes, good audio reports.

    Been a ham since 1995 - his videos intrigued me to get my GMRS license. I like his humor, and I like the way he reviews the different radios. His reviews led me to my GMRS HT and Mobile radio choices.

    If one of the manufacturers would come out with a GMRS radio with GRINDR built in...now THAT would be something... Anyway, Im using a Retivis RA25 wedged between my seat and console (exactly as pictured in an above post) and the dual mag mount that came with it. My HT is a Radioddity GM30

    Jokes aren't just a mixed bag here...I find that jokes fall flat everywhere post Covid - people just take things way to serious nowadays.

    I'm happy to help - we were all new to this "Radio Thing" at one time! I'm still pretty new to GMRS but have been doing the radio thing for quite awhile now.
  35. WRYK453
    The PL tones, may or may not be 141.3 for the repeater you are trying to access - it depends on that repeater owners setup. But using a repeater in that situation would definitely allow your radio to be heard over a larger range and likely give you the ability to summon help faster than using a simplex channel IF someone is listening to the repeater at that time...
