WRYS709

Groups and families within a close range of each other use these channels to avoid clutter and interference from others using these Channels.

So the converse: if you are operating an FRS radio on one of those channels, or any other FRS channel, you do not need to ID.

OK: follow those suggestions as to window antenna and coax lengths, and if you have more 779 questions, feel free to let me know. PS: It is best to quote me, like this @WRZI798 so as to get my attention, as this thread is not named Anytone 779 and I may not read new posts here otherwise. I only have a limited knowledge/experience base set and ignore many other posts accordingly.

I have the 779 at home and its clone, the Radioddity DB20-G in my vehicle with THIS dual band $20 mag-mount. What is the availability of installing an antenna on your roof? Are power wires a problem up there, too? With my rooftop Comet dual band vertical antenna I get great range from my Anytone in every direction. An indoor antenna at a window would probably only propagate well in the window's direction. But I suppose you could try with the mag-mount on a metal tray at your window and see if that hits your favorite repeaters. "Looking to pair it with a Nagoya UT-72G antenna for the mobile portion, along with a BTECH RPS-30M if necessary (honestly not sure if it is or not--at least for home use probably?)." The RPS-30M is obviously for your home to provide 12 volts at the necessary amps to operate it? I use a similar power supply, so I have no experience with the RPS-30M. You should see a dramatic increase in range and usability over your BTECH GMRSV2.

I think I recently read that Rudy Giuliani claims that RT Software was formed by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and shares commissions with Norton...

RT is known for quality software, but they charge $25 for software on a $30 HT; when the compatible Radioddity GM-30 software is a free download.

Utilizing the pinouts from Miklor here and here: It still feels to me that there is some misalignment between the RJ-45 plug on the microphone and the RJ-45 jack on the radio; such that it is shorting out the voltage pins instead of triggering the SCAN function.

I do not have this model, but... I googl'd "Baofeng-9R" and got this website. I then clicked "Download" and got this website. There is no model "GMRS-9R" listed on the Downloads page, but there is a "UV-9R." Is this the same radio? Attached below, is the downloaded Manual for the "UV-9R": That same page also has a software download for the "UV-9R", also attached below for ease of use: Try this software and see if you can make a copy of the default settings and report back your results for others. GOOD LUCK! BAOFENG_UV_9R_User_Manual_20231019_EN.pdf WP970I_ENG_CPS.CAB SETUP.LST setup.exe

Strange! Is it under warranty? Be sure the RJ-45 connector from the mic cable is pushed all the way in.

Questions: 1) I am not experienced with Python, but I want to try your suggestion. I do have the Retevis version (Ra-25) CPS software from previous work. I also created a csv file from Chirp and put them all in the same subdirectory. How do I execute the Python file? 2) What do you mean by "working across models?" You say: "I've tried it with a few of the different model options and it seems to be working across models too" 3) I will look for the "bug" you mentioned when I try this out. Thank you!

Nicely done! You are using the GM15Pro with just its HT antenna, or you enhanced it? I picked up its Ham Radio twin brother, the UV13-Pro, with the ABbree 771GMRS antenna to give it a bit of better range.

Consider an Alpha Delta coaxial antenna switch. Pricier than the Chinese knockoffs, but you do not want to scrimp on antenna parts where inferior ruins the experience:

These threads (and the ones about Digital on GMRS) remind me of that episode of The Twilight Zone where neighbors begin fighting amongst themselves because electricity and their vehicles become sporadically available and unavailable!

I will take a look at this when I have some time, so thank you! In my personal experience the Codeplug software for the Retevis Ra-25 seems to be specific to that radio and I have never been able to get the codeplugs generated from its software to load into the Raddioddity or Anytone CPS software. That is the main reason I never recommend that radio in favor of the Radioddity DB20-G or the Anytone AT-779UV.

Check out the Radioddity DB20-G a/k/a Anytone AT-779UV: mini-mobile that fits in the palm of your hand, 20 watts, cigarette lighter plug, buttons on microphone $99-109. Many on this forum have them working reliably for years.

The Capt’n Crunch whistle frequency Magazine?

Get the Baofeng UV13-Pro, the Ham Radio cousin of that radio and it transmits on GMRS as well!

Does anyone know what gives the federal government the right to get involved in local nuclear powered electricity generation? I don't recall it being a granted power to the federal government in 1789?!? What about Originalism?? Seems to me this responsibility should either fall to the State, or the People! Maybe we should allow just anyone to compete in the telecom business, without any regard to those damn regulations established by the FCC, either!

Do you mean if they turn on "encryption" in addition to it being DMR? Are they still subject to "fox hunting?"

The Radioddity DB20-G is also sold as the Anytone AT-779UV. One Ham told me on the Topanga repeater during the Pandemic that the City of Malibu was funding his project to make Go-Box's of the DB20-G with Li-on batteries for distribution to those in dangerous areas of Malibu as emergency communications!

Those of us Baby Boomers first were exposed to 10-4 when Broderick Crawford used it on the classic 1950s TV series: Highway Patrol!

I am just curious, from the knowledgable, if this were say an illegal DMR use of the frequency, would a DMR radio capable of receiving/transmitting on this frequency, such as the Radioddity RD-5R, be used to listen and decode this transmission; in an attempt to track down the users?

The software they allowed you to download is or is not the same as the software linked to this earlier post in this thread:

Looks like your shipper gets a refund of $105! I can’t tell if you are disparaging Fedex or your shipper!?

If you are using the Radioddity software for the cline GM-30, be sure to upgrade to version 2.06.
