    Which foundation is this? Is it local or national?

    Pics?

    Are grants available for putting up a community repeater, or components thereof?

    Seriously? What's the thinking behind that?

    LOL. I gotta write that down.

    Marantz was the bomb. We had speakers so large they were on wheels. I installed an 8 track in a '64 Mustang. Music was public, and phone calls were private.

    I have the free Starlink 911 service with T-Mobile. It provides texts to 911 when out of cell range. Whenever I'm out of cell range I receive a notification that satellite connection is available. If you pay $10/month you can text any number, not just 911, but I'm too cheap for that. https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-text-to-911-available-for-everyone
  19.    GreggInFL reacted to a post in a topic: DMR on FRS/GMRS (seemingly Voice Inversion, not DMR)
  20. GreggInFL
    Simple question not worthy of another thread: Is DMR "legal" on GMRS? (Didn't read the whole thread because I'm lazy today.)
  21. GreggInFL
    Do you have any radios now? FRS?

  26. GreggInFL
    Power helps if you have no LOS to speak of. Before I became interested in GMRS I tried FRS radios in our neighborhood, which is flat with thick foliage. Range was, maybe, 1/4 mile. A GMRS HT will do a ~mile. But yeah, at the end of the day, elevation = propagation.

  29. GreggInFL
    Well, poop.
  30. GreggInFL
    Do you have a GMRS license? IIRC, there is no minimum age limit (could be wrong, it happens), so get a license and two radios. Show dad how it works.
  31.    GreggInFL reacted to a post in a topic: Feel like a little kid again! First hit on repeaters
  32. GreggInFL
    This. I can hit a local repeater that's about 35 miles away through moderate foliage with a 5W HT not because my radio is great, but because the repeater has a world-class antenna 400' AGL in flat terrain. If I get above tree level I can hit it from ~50 miles with an $18 CCR.

  34. GreggInFL
    That's specifically what I use and it works well.
