Dammit I lagged that putt! On a more back to topic subject... I'm curious why when Programming the UV-5R GMRS radios with Chirp that the NOAA stations do not appear anywhere in Chirp? Apparently they are hard coded into these HTs? Can anyone confirm?

I'd go even more basic as lag is not a "radio" specific term and is used in many forms of communication like computer networking A lag is simply a delay in transmission or reception of a communications signal. As we all know whenever a federal entity is involved the lag time increases dramatically!

Thanks Sshannon!

Is the Tone Out setting of 100MHz for this Tremont Repeater in the top pic the same as the Chirp setting for Tone Squelch? Do I need to add 100.0 for the Tone Squelch in Chirp?

It did so automatically!

RUT ROH -- Just noticed that when I plug my Baofeng UV-5R GRMS radio into Chirp it identifies as a Radioddity UV-5R? Is that expected? Or is this an indication I have a knock-off?

Good evening mygmrs'ers! With respect to Chirp and the various column settings using the Tremont Ranch Open Repeater as an example, below are the published settings here on mygmrs: Would this be correct settings for that repeater in Chirp?: Do I need a tone squelch or duplex setting here? Some column settings here seem mutually exclusive, meaning fill one out and it blanks others. Learning slowly but surely. Thanks again for all the help past and present gentlemen!

Is there a comprehensive list of all the repeaters and channels used in the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, Cleveland, and other Mountains, high and low deserts. Thinking stuff any off-roader or overlander would want for our area and neighboring areas?

I haven't uploaded this or tried to TX today, so that must have been another radio checker

Guess I didnt properly enter and save the settings for the repeater at 462.6000 as that line in Chirp showed nada for the Tone or DTCS columns. Is this correct for Chirp?:

Thanks for all the help Saturday OffRoaderX! Is Ranchino the appropriate name for this Haven Peak repeater? Or is it known by another more common name locally? I'm diving into Chirp, where I feel more comfortable visualizing all the settings and channels cuz Im a tech geek!

Q - Once I have entered the right DTC/DCS/DPL tone of: D023 for this repeater, does it remain in memory after I turn the unit off?

Many online "experts" highly tout the Nagoya NA-771-G as one of the best antennas for GMRS HTs. My new Baofeng UV5R came with this Abbree AR-771 antenna. Is doesn't seem to get any better reception than the shorter rubber duck antenna. Is this AR-771 just trying to capitalize on the Chinese copycat name? Is it garbage as I suspect? I smell a review/comparison coming!

Suddenly I find myself worried about balding...

In the early days of radio communications a "roger" was used to acknowledge a message or question had been received. As in the "roger that" phrase used by law enforcement and military So why is the beep used at the end of TX called a roger beep? Nobody is acknowledging anything, except the broadcaster/transmitter is saying I'm finished. I highly doubt the engineer who developed it was called Roger. LOL Anyone know why its called a roger beep?

LOL! I think I am flush with radios now!

Musta been OffRoaderX then as he was active online at that time. I wanted two for camping and hiking with the wife n grandkids. We had an "incident" several years ago in J-tree, (kids went climbing and exploring, we all got separated I found kids and the wife didn't show up for several more hours). Lesson learned and I wanted a way to keep in touch and teach the GKs. Plus I am wanting to start going out on 4x4 group drives and they usually require a GMRS radio (scored a midland MTX275 for the truck). Hell the 2 for the $44 special with all the accessories felt like a cheap investment. Adding the antenna, extended batts, and the programming cable I'm still well under $200 total. I'm no techno-phobe, taught Computer Science, PC repair, data communications, networking, etc for over 20 years. I just might not be as quick to pick up as when i was 20... or 30... or 40! Getting old sucks, but it sure beats the alternative! BUT I WILL PICK THIS UP! Again, I want to thank you all for the wonderful help and support today. Tomorrow I will be in NFL mode, but I'll check in here.

Before I even got this msg the Nagoya 771G is ordred! I had also opted out of the DigiRig this AM! I believe you were pinging me earlier I heard "709" and "new guy with the baofeng"! Just you could not hear me respond

Time to head for the hills... I'm certainly learning the menus well on this UV5R! LMAO

I'm thinking Riverside might be too far for this lil handheld???

Whomever was just broadcasting for the "new guy with Baofeng" I was RXing But apparently not TXing

DTC TX tone is set to 023. The silence is deafening. On what peak is this repeater in RC?

Unfortunately there are only REPTR #s 1 to 8 CH 25 on this one is REPTR3 - according to the Appendix that equates to 462.600 Is that correct so far?
