    I have been running both Windows XP and 10 for years on my Intel Macs either in Bootcamp, which requires a reboot each time I switch from Windows to Mac and back, or in Parallels, which can run both simultaneously. I now also run Windows 11 in Parallels on my 2024 M4 Mac Mini. I have successfully used this method to program ALL of my radios that are not covered by Chirp and hence require a Windows CPS software.

    I would like to help but I am unclear at what you are saying here. Also, my other problem with helping you is this damn'd format of sorting by votes for this type of post! Yes, I know I can change it to sort by date, but I still find it bothersome. I will make an exception for you though... Are you able to receive and hear your local Weather Band station?

    I will bet dollars to donuts that the reference to "chirp" was a typo or auto-correct mistake. Don't hold your breath for Chirp support on the DB20-G; is just not gonna happen.

    Historically, narrow-band GMRS repeaters are used as private repeaters, or with semi-private portable repeaters used off-road for compatibility with easy to purchase FRS HTs. When repeaters are stationary and open, they are normally set to wide-band. Even Midland recognized that the times, they are a'changing!

    There is the Cup Holder Mount: Somewhere on this forum is a cheaper version using a plumbers plug!

    If you see The Proud Boys programming their Baofengs, head for cover!

    l create code plugs for each Mode. When opened, all 500 channels are available for TX. I posted somewhere here on this Forum in a GMRS thread, my codeplug for Part 95E rules when opened.

    There is one specific radio, the Radioddity DB20-G a/k/a Anytone AT-779UV that comes Part 95E certified that can easily “open” to use on Ham 2 meters/440 MHz and then reset to certified use on GMRS.

    I have and program the original Radioddity GM-30 clone, from Pofung, which requires a Windows computer for programming, but no experience with the GM-30 Plus. What is the "Bank assignment?"
  19. WRYS709
    I easily power my DB20-G with my Jackery Explorer 300. I do have a 120v AC to 12v DC main power supply for longer term use. It is the JetStream JTPS32MAB, which I purchased years ago from the old HRO that was located nearby in those days.

    I stopped buying every new cheap HT that was being released some time ago. I will let those with specific experience of the baofeng ar-5rm help you now. Good luck!

    Try this: Go to Channel 25 (or it may be listed as Channel 17Repeater) and enter the Tone of 123.0 on your output (transmitting) side only. Go outside and/or drive closer to the GCR 600 Perdido Beach Repeater and transmit a "repeater check" and ask them if anyone can hear you. Good luck! UPDATE: Or Channel 28 (or Channel 20Repeater) and same 123.0 tone for the GCR 675 ORANGE BEACH Repeater and try that.

    Also welcome to this forum! And welcome to GMRS 10 days ago Please do not be discouraged by snarky responses to “newbie” questions; it’s part of his charm!

    Good choice of Radio: I have two - one for the car and one for the shack. I will leave out my selection of power supply, as I find the prior discussion confusing and I do not have wide experience in the power supply area. I have a $19 mag mount on my car and a Comet CX-333 on my roof This radio outperforms the Yaesu FT-857d when it comes to FM.

    What computer (other than Windows) did you use for the Baofeng UV-17ProGPS software and where did you find it for download? Thank you.
