    The UV-5R(G)(X) series of radios is an excellent "gateway" radio into a lifelong struggle of buying newer, bigger and better radios to meet your needs!

    Others will chime in, but most HTs use an SMA connector. the gender is determined by the post or hole in the middle, not the threading. Each adapter will generally cause some loss of power. But I use them when needed.

    If you can afford to put one up high on a pole with a rotor, it can be the best of all worlds.

    Maybe it just an "affiliate link" below?!? BTW: I just LOVE your documentaries...

    Looks like they're South 1 and Quakerstown 625

    If chatting with your buddy is your primary objective and you can be line of sight with that altitude, get a couple of 50 watt Wouxuns and high-gain Yagi antennas aimed at each other and chat Simplex on the High Power channels.

    I purchased a Baofeng UV13-PRO (the Ham Radio version of the UV15-PRO for GMRS) for $20 including shipping from AliExpress and it seems to transmit on GMRS as well. USB-C battery charging, too!

    It is the Radioddity GM-30 in a Baofeng case.

    Yes, preceeded by the Henry Radio Tempo 2 meter HT with thumb wheel frequency changing capability.

    I have no experience with programming or using your HT, but sometimes, channels 30-39 can be DIY repeater channels and sometimes, simplex, too.

    I purchased a pair of Pofung BF-T11 FRS radios from Amazon and one had bad audio. Amazon sent me two more and told me to keep the originals, so now I have 3 good working ones.
  14. WRYS709
    Are you able to transmit 462.550 simplex on another channel using the CPS programming software?
  15. WRYS709
    Yet their prices are always the highest!
  16. WRYS709
    For Midland, that is a feature and not a bug!
  17. WRYS709
    Same features available for $100 instead of $400; except for 20 watts instead of 50 watts.
  18. WRYS709
    My guess: Michigan to Texas...

    The eBay listing I found is a cable to connect two TYT TH-9000D radios; make sure it works with the 9800 model.

    I’ll try mobile next time I am going east. published tone still applicable?
  21. WRYS709
    Yes I am not receiving it in the Eastern San Fernando Valley. I will refrain from posting this comment in all the other Mesa Crest posts that you opened.
  22. WRYS709
    Are these the same interference tactics used by those against the large footprint former 725 repeater to the West of you?
  23. WRYS709
    More negative chatter about Midlands. They seem to be helpful to the Jeep crowd, going off road and having friends buy last minute FRS radios at sporting goods stores and Walmart, to use as well (hence why the Midlands are narrow band).
  24. WRYS709
    You can monitor two frequencies at a time and scan VHF/UHF (500 channels). I believe other threads here make the claim that 40 watts does not enable that many more “fars” over 20 watts; antennas being more significant.
  25. WRYS709
    I personally like the $99 - $109 Radioddity DB20-G a/k/a AnyTone AT-779UV 20 watt mini mobile with everything on the mic, cigarette lighter plug and a cup mount (or here) and $20 mag mount antenna for easy in and out in my car and I have another one in my home. And I avoid all the Midland problems I read on this forum.
