You will hear a courtesy tone, squelch tail and then the repeater should identify (in Morse code). Sometimes you will hear the repeater owner tell you to identify and stop kerchunking their repeater. Sent using Tapatalk

Fine bud, I won’t help anyone else that asks for it here. Y’all are toxic. Sent using Tapatalk

Here’s an example, You have a 6 meter yagi, 2m yagi and a 70cm yagi stacked on a mast. The 70cm yagi should be 1/2 wave @ 70cm from the 2m yagi. The 2m yagi should be 1/2 wave @ 2m from the 6m yagi. The lower band yagis will not “see” the higher bands. Same goes with mobile antennas. 70cm whip should be 1/2 wave @ 70cm from a 2m whip etc. Dual band whips are using the lowest operating band.

Reflectors are physically longer than the driven element. Sent using Tapatalk

The highest band used designates the minimum distance. Ever stack yagis? This is what is done. The lower band antennas do not have adverse effects with higher band antennas. Sent using Tapatalk

I would suggest 12” or more. Sent using Tapatalk

Double Waiting = Dual Watch I ran into that with the UV-21R. Dual Power Tube = 2 Battery cells. That page is a difficult read. Reminds me of 1985 VCR timer instructions. Sent using Tapatalk

Regarding pinch points, I have found that taping two short cut pieces of coax on each side. They will take the brunt of a pinch instead of your active coax. Metal ducting tape works well to keep it in place. Add some slack where the bends are so the bend diameter is larger. I think the articulating lip mount will be your best option. Some helpful images for mobile antenna mounting considerations. Good luck on your install and happy mobiling! Sent using Tapatalk

I am biased for C4FM (YSF specifically) as well. Especially the error correction in digital narrow mode. I used to run a simplex net on 2 meters. I’d have stations beacon in GM mode to get checked in early. GM mode beacons your call every 15 seconds and displays calls received. It worked really well. GMRS could use something like that since it’s UHF only. Thanks for the reply. Sent using Tapatalk

How would DMR work on GMRS for simplex only? Would C4FM be a better option? Just program call sign and select digital modes DN or VW and no networks, databases or talk groups needed. C4FM would not allow two time slots though. Sent using Tapatalk

Well you’re no fun, lol. I would look at a fender mount or an articulating lip mount for the rear hatch/trunk. Good luck with your install! Sent using Tapatalk

I would support digital voice on every GMRS channel for simplex use as it extends range and readability but not for repeaters. FCC should limit which digital voice modes could be used such as C4FM/FDMA. Using DMR/TDMA would be so confusing to GMRS users. This is just wishful thinking. I mean look how long it took for CB to get FM approved. Fun topic though. Sent using Tapatalk

CN-901V to be specific as there are several 901 models. The V goes to 525 MHz. Sent using Tapatalk

The Diawa CN-901 has been my go to meter for vhf/uhf. https://static.dxengineering.com/global/images/prod/xlarge/dwa-cn-901hp_oh_xl.jpg Sent using Tapatalk

I built a tape measure yagi for 440 back in 2007 from a QST article. It did in fact work, but only for handheld use as the elements flop in the wind. I picked up an Arrow dual band satellite yagi and it is much better but still handheld use. Sent using Tapatalk
