    If 265 DPL is the input tone of the repeater he wants to hit, wouldn't he put that in the TX DCS? I'm having a similar problem in that I can't find "DCS" as a tone option on Chirp for my UV-5R. EDIT: Okay, I found DTCS, which appears similar. I'll give it a try.

    I've heard it referred to "CB on steroids" and "HAM radio for Dummies". Personally I prefer -- and qualify as -- the latter. (<- No ham ticket.)

    I've nearly talked the HOA into putting up a repeater to be used post-hurricane, but some aren't convinced it would be worth the money. This is perfect for a dirt-cheap proof-of-concept demonstration. And I already have a pool-cleaning pole.

    Yeah, 16 is the hailing frequency. If you linger there a grumpy person wearing a uniform will bark at you. 22a is the USCG channel for announcements. Never TX on 22a. I've noticed channel 9 is being used for hailing. Must be a policy change because when I took the CG Auxiliary class (centuries ago) it was reserved for emergencies.

    It's about time. What's the harm in standing on the end of the dock with a marine HT discussing with the vessel's captain how they want the dock lines rigged?

    Aha, 42". Should have known Steve would nail it. Thank you, sir!

    I haven't tried it yet. It's my mobile antenna and the idea of running cable with adapters for something that will eventually go back in the vehicle makes little sense. Presently looking for an antenna I can park in the attic as a permanent base antenna. Any recommendations? 5' - 6' max height.

    I returned one to Amazon because the unit would go through a power-down-power-up cycle when keyed. Happened about 25% of the time. Replacement works fine.
  25. GreggInFL
    Yup, that's simplex. I usually figure range in a wooded area to be 1/2 - 2 miles with a handheld. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. The more elevation and antenna the better. Congrats on getting it running.

    Similar here. I assumed my 25W mobile and 3dbi mag mount would work great with a pizza pan in the closet. I was very wrong. Time to get a base antenna, some LMR400 and drill a hole.
  29. GreggInFL
    Welcome! You're in the right place. There are some very smart and helpful members here, many amateur + GMRS combos like yourself. And a few lightweights like me.
  30. GreggInFL
    35 miles, which is lot for this area.
  31. GreggInFL
    ^ Agreed. I have a couple of those, and that ain't right.
  32. GreggInFL
    Don't bait him, bro.
  33. GreggInFL
    That would work. Hopefully the RX and TX tones are the same.
