The set up I was talking about @Lscott. I am just waiting on the antenna I was having made to come in and we will be up and running. @GMRSJohn Shhhhh... @LeoG agreed.

I have a Remote set up for work in the corner of the bonus room. It already had my HH and set up ready for the base station radio. She rarely goes to my corner..... Hopefully it stays that way. lmao

I just got my base station radio with the 4 payment deal on PayPal. And the wifey hasn't even noticed.

Did you figure it out? Hope you're able to get logged back in. I just use my email to log in.

I am able to hit 2 repeaters that are over 50 miles from me on my handheld. It is a 5W handheld. I am in Campobello SC and they are in NC. Sounds like your offsets may not be right. If its 462.5000 the offset is 467.5000 etc, etc.

CTCSS and DCS, Does it make a difference?
StogieVol replied to WSAH786's question in Technical Discussion
I was "thinking" that, but wanted to confirm. Thank you. -

StogieVol replied to WSAH786's question in Technical Discussion
Question for you GMRS Pro's. I got my KG1000t today and my power supply. I am waiting on the antenna to arrive. Can I turn it on without antenna and use programming cable to get it set up and that not hurt the radio? Or should I just wait for the antenna? -
I have done a search before, but I prefer just opening the map on this site, zooming in to my "area" and looking at repeaters around me. I look at the green halo range and if it's close enough I enter the tones for the repeaters and try them. That's just my prefered method. Also I do this for travel. If I know I am going on a trip and plan my route, I look at repeaters along that route and get them programmed.

I will say since the storms, I have seen a lot of new people in the GMRS areas of social media I follow. This seem like an amazing time to grow and help these new people getting into the hobby. I would say, like me, the new crowd found myGMRS and are just going through requesting all the repaters close to them no realizing they don't have do all the requests unless they are labeled "request permission". SO, if any of our new GMRS people see this post is a repeater is listed as "Open" you are free to use that repeater without permissions. If it labled "Request permission", then please do so. I hope the new influx of users enjoy the hobby and stick with it.

@GMRSJohn Truth in that statement. I have a 3 hobbies, so I have to not stir the pot to much. Jeep, Radios, and guns. And all 3 are kinda pricey. opps.

I have several emergency frequencies programmed in my 935 so I can stay posted on things in my area already. I also have a "scanner" app on my work phone. -
Same, If I had the money I have a radio garage. Lol

Help;-) Anyone willing to share their GMRS Code Plug?
StogieVol replied to WSBS425's topic in myGMRS.com
I learned to work my way around the Map on this site and find the repeaters close enough to me that I could hit and programmed those tones. I have learned and grown slowly and by asking questions. Glad to help if I can. I use the KG 935t myself and enjoy that radio. -
What does "265 DPL" mean as a repeater Input Tone?
StogieVol replied to RogerSpendlove's topic in General Discussion
The DPL just means digital, So what you want is that D265N for your tone. And that was a good question. Feel free to ask anything. -
Thank you! I will look at it this evening.

@marcspaz I am new to the video editing and took the time to make one on CapCut, but when I went to download it said I didn't have enough space to do it. It wanted me to pay.... So, I have not gotten a full video done yet. Not sure I want to pay for editing yet. If that makes sense.

Had a great time at Beasley Knob OHV. Tough trails that keep you on your toes. Glad to get another BOH done.
-
I actually wish there was more general chat going on. It is usually quiet in my area but sometimes, the channels get going. I enjoy it. Just got my friend on GMRS, so my activity should become more. We also use the radios for off roading.
-
Yes and Yes, I only need about 6 more mounts. lol I agree, these are great mounts and I have had no issues in 2 years with phones. I will put the iPad mount to use this weekend in Ga.
-
Here is my In Jeep set up. 2 phone holders with and iPad holder for OnX Off-roading app all on dash. Overhead molle panel with Wouxun KG20t radio and my aux panel. Also a pouch for Hand held radio when trailing.
-
Heck yeah! So glad you have gotten to do that traveling. Enjoy the trails! Would be cool seeing you at Uwharrie but in a couple weeks me and some friends are doing Beasley Knob. Uwharrie a few weeks later, more than likely.
