WRYS709

As I recall that is a deficiency with that model Radioddity; that is, the inability to setup additional DIY simplex channels with tones

I just turned on the radio and 650 and 700: all the yahoo's are going nuts over the California election results!

You probably have programmed your radio to beep on the conclusion of your transmission; hence no determination can be made from that beep. Brand/model of Radio? Which Repeater? Other information you think might be relevant, such as the line of sight from your location to the repeater, etc.?

Yeah: When the 308 guy gets tired or goes back to his old repeater, this one returns to normal! Whenever I hear him on his home repeater, I go there and tell him he is not allowed to be transmitting that stuff on "this repeater" and he gets obstinate and stays there longer!

Quansheng uvk5(8) -AliExpress $20 free shipping showed up in about 8 days I listen to the BUR Terminal on 118.7 MHz AM https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805561056379.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.48c2OiikOiikKK&browser_id=a0cf84c6adf04859888edcf518aa2a50&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=wohuwqihqcauwyzq18e0c1a6e51181c5ffa833d0b8&gclid=&pdp_npi=4%40dis!USD!52.04!19.78!!!52.04!19.78!%402103253917096000425588967ef10f!12000034202258644!sea!US!0!AB&algo_pvid=56e7a969-b3a2-4b52-a606-d0e236dd0825

Just curious: what motivated you to select the H3? Seems like a Quansheng uvk5(8) at twice the price!

Wouxon price minus $35 is the cost of having all those features! Nothing odd about it...

Exactly: I paid $22 six years ago for a good quality FTDI USB to K-1 cable on Amazon to program originally my UV-5R and it has paid dividends in working with all my K-1 radios since then!

I don't have any experience programming the ICOM IC-2720. I do see that RT Software has a cable/software package for that radio and they receive very high marks on the ease of use of their software. Also, I see that CHIRP supports your Icom, as well. Good luck! You do not hear any traffic on the 650 repeater on your correctly programmed UV5R?

Oooops it's CRM-114! Also noted on the guitar amplifier used by Marty McFly in Back to the Future, as an homage to Dr. Strangelove!

It is clearly delineated in "Wing Attack - Plan R" in the manual being read by Col. Kong in your profile photo!

How much you want for your bricked H3? Did you try to connect it to your CRM113 Discriminator and activate it with the code: OPE?

Yes, the link to the Repeater page, shows the tone. Do you know how to program your radio to use that tone? What radio?

San Fernando Valley: 462.700 repeaters are not very helpful. Try the 462.650 repeater up on Sylmar; you should hit it fine from Reseda and it gets good range and generally have good folk. Sylmar 650; open and permission not needed. Once and a while the scum that used to populate 725 migrate over to 650 and its best to turn off your radio at that point.

Your two closest repeaters are both permission required, so use the Repeater section here to ask permission and then try to find their websites and ask permission there, too. Simplex you are ready to go: tune to the channel and push to talk!

I purchased this one: MMDVM JumboSpot It just arrived today; I purchased on the 18th

Yes, I believe you are correct; those problems are locked into firmware as part of their FCC certification for Part 95E. One solution, I believe, is the Baofeng UV-13Pro. It is the Ham Radio version of the GM-15 and is open to GMRS frequencies. As such I believe all channels are programmable. If that is something that you are interested in, I have one here (I purchased it from AliExpress for about $20 including free shipping) and I could run the software and see if I can populate GMRS Repeaters on the other channels, as well. I do not recall if Chirp supports this radio, but it would not surprise me if it doesn't.

That's the problem with "Guests" - they have no skin in the game.

That's my next project: I ordered a Hotspot from China for $100, so I will be following this thread as well!

No. It is a clone of the Radioddity GM-30 and not the UV-5R.

When the OP comes back (if), then I’ll stop holding my breath

Please restate your original question with more detail about the two stations. Pretend I am 5 years old

WoW: I just got the Quansheng UV-K5(8) delivered from AliExpress today... I CAN"T KEEP UP!!!

So this setup will cause you to not hear transmissions from that repeater, unless they also have a code of 67.0 set on their transmissions? Why use a channel shared with a local repeater? There will be interference when both are transmitting, subject to the "capture effect."
