I'd rather just use 1 antenna so as to keep the roof as clear of scratches as possible. Most bands are "listen only" just GMRS is transmit band and requires the most gain and best signal response for distance. The rest are relatively local frequencies.

I'm not worried as much about cost as I am having the best long range NMO no ground plane GMRS antenna I can get, prefer at least ⅝ wave. Nothing under 5db gain and it should also be able to do 2m. A plus if it can do: 136-180 VHF • 219-250 VHF • 350-512 UHF • 700-960 UHF quad-band, with GMRS being the necessity. I've already wasted money on the Diamond and Tram junk, now I'm wanting the best. I'm using a magnet mount, as a necessity as well, albeit I'm open for a better model of it as well. I'm looking for at least 5" magnet for stability. Going on a leased Nissan Rogue, can't be permanent mount.

Yes, I am looking for a mobile that can do it, even if it's a future released product for Christmas... I'm surprised there's not been any announcements as of yet. Surely the crappy Baofeng can't be the only company producing such a beast yet, or coming out with something soon. I'd even settle for a Midland XT-511 update, that can do it, especially if it can also do repeaters and/or have a removable antenna for actual GMRS duties, not just FRS/Digital. I'd even be willing to forgo 2 of the 3 criteria if I can just get it how I mentioned above. "I'm more interested in Bluetooth and the texting capabilities via base than the GPS. Although GPS and Bluetooth would be beneficial via Mobiles too, minus the Texting capabilities, unless they're canned texts or done via Bluetooth TTS."

BTech has a HT that does it to other BTech HTs of that specific model https://baofengtech.com/product/gmrs-pro/

It's for HT's it's not really meant to be on a Mobile, which I don't plan on using mobile but, as a base. Therefore it doesn't matter, only I'm having a problem finding such a beast even as such, it's more rare than the elusive Sasquatch... The more retarded part of that is the 467 transmit limit, although I can see why, since those are the same as the FRS frequencies. I'm more interested in Bluetooth and the texting capabilities via base than the GPS. Although GPS and Bluetooth would be beneficial via Mobiles too, minus the Texting capabilities, unless they're canned texts or done via Bluetooth TTS. As long as it has Superhets, I'd be willing to make do with a HT, if there were almost anything else other than Baofeng/BTech doing it.

I'm looking for a Mobile GMRS radio with Superhets, Digital, Bluetooth, and GPS, does one not yet exist?!? If not, when?!?

Would a full reset of the device, do anything to improve anything? I have no problem loading up ChirpNext and reinstalling it, if I have to, I just don't want to deal with the hassel if it's not going to help.

Sorry I hadn't seen that manual until just now... I've been trying to make heads/tails of it. I tried what it suggested in it and haven't noticed any difference. Test results haven't improved either. I also have heavily modified my unit since then too. I no longer use the default PTT-ID or anything to do with it. I'm wondering if the sun-spot activity could have anything to do with it? It's just got me so confused as to why I'm not able to get anything but, repeater tones when I key up, even after others just went "to the side and monitoring"... I'm not able to even get that on some of the other repeaters, even when I'm local to them... Even trying to respond to people who are also trying to get a response when they are doing radio checks, I'm not able to connect with them even though I hear them loud and clear...

In my 4 page manual, I don't have a page 49, it barely goes to 16, if you fold it 4 ways...

Have you seen the manual for the KG-UV9GX.... Go check out Randy's video, it's not changed...

Somehow, my radio had that, (Menu 22 on the KG-UV9GX,) changed from Off to DT-ANI, so I don't know...

Brand new just out of the box, dunno, maybe dud too... Unsure of Nissei, never heard of them before I ordered and could not get the Fars-o-Meter 2K

Having the same problem on Chromebook, not on Android phone I posted from.... Dunno Trying again... VID_20231107_181636629.mp4

it doesn't have any fars, i'm no longer hitting my local repeater...

I didn't get any proof but, before it was getting 4.5+ W on the channels, still much less than the advertised 5.5W it claims to do.

it only received, out isn't happening...

Check the video, it has a dummy load on it...

How would one know if it had been or not? Like I said I heard someone saying they "had gotten a few radios". If it's not their radios how could they have?

It's doing it on ALL the channels, no matter what frequency, including repeaters, as tested on the Nissei RS-50 I just got, from 1 - 30+

And BTW, thanks, it's because of your videos, that I not only got my license but, this radio too!

I'm still in talks with Mark about it, on Facebook, I'm thinking about giving him a call, as soon as I find out why it's lost all it's power since I heard that guy talk about doing radios that way on their "net chat" that night a week or so ago. My power has dropped from 4 something just a couple of days ago to low 3W's and I don't know why yet. I just happened on that feature on the Wouxun KG-1000+ units today and got my mind wondering about it...

I'm curious if my radio has had something like that done to it somehow, since I can't seem to get out and my power is about ½ it's full potential and it's brand new, a Wouxun KG-UV9GX. I heard a bit ago on one of the channels that I had been monitoring and keyed up on one time to find out about "their net", that they had done something like this to people who weren't "paying customers" and I wonder if it did something to my radio as it's progressively gotten worse since then. If it has, they're going to be hearing from my attorney!

Curiosity in how one could recover from it...

Does this actually "kill" another radio?!? Like to make it so it doesn't work right anymore?!? I hope others expand on this... Anyone from Wouxun in the house?!?
