    The Ns are that much better?

    Welcome. You are in the right place. There is a ton of information and very helpful people here, so I recommend you join and look around. First thing? Turn it on and hit the scan button. You may hear someone. If you do, push the PTT button and say hi.

    Modern epoxies have a tensile strength of 3000+ psi. Just glue it down, if you don't mind it staying there forever.

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDKMWYGR?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_14 Note display. Set menu item #41 to SYNC = ON.

    Agreed. I have mine set to monitor one channel only, the one I'll transmit on. It's convenient to have the other three available with the touch of a button, but monitoring four channels, and being forced to switch to transmit on the last active channel, is not appealing.

    Welcome! We were in Big Bend National a few years ago. Great place.
  7. GreggInFL
    Got it.

    The rangers use GMRS in the park?
  9. GreggInFL
    Those are hard to tune. Patience Grasshopper. Keep trying.

    Can the PTT-ID (or similar) be detected by the repeater and used as a filter, like a tone? If so it would be one way to limit access on a private repeater used by a small community -- would not work for something large as the ID would eventually get passed around.

    I bought one about a year ago. I had it replaced because it was going through some weird power on-off cycle when the PTT was pushed, but the replacement has worked fine. It was on sale for $5 less than the 20 and had good reviews (thanks Randy) and a few more features.
  12. GreggInFL
    Yes.
  13. GreggInFL
    Okay, thanks. So all those ID-related fields I'm seeing in Chirp are voluntary. Got it.
  14. GreggInFL
    So there is no hardware serial number, ala cell phones?
  15. GreggInFL
    Pardon my noobie ignorance, but all my GMRS radios have some sort of "PTT ID" field (or similar). Question: Can users be individually identified and disallowed?
  16. GreggInFL
    That would be fantastic, Steve. Generous as usual. Thank you. Let me get the software up and running and I'll check back.
  17. GreggInFL
    Got it. Thanks.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. You stated you have Motorola DMR radios but don't have a HAM license. So on what service are you using those radios?
  19. GreggInFL
    I have a Baofeng DM-32UV, still in the box. I intend to configure the analog side for GMRS. I'll RX only on the digital side for now, but would like to know what I should be listening to. It's not a matter of how to program it, it's a matter of what to program, i.e. what should a DMR newbie be listening to? Is there a recommended beginner code plug?
  20. GreggInFL
    Okay, but on what service can you use DMR without a license? The only one I'm aware of is PMR446 in Europe.
  21. GreggInFL
    What's the best way to learn DMR? This question from some holding a GMRS license only. Randy, you have a channel?

    Welcome, Pedro! That radio is my go-to favorite when talking with new users. Good choice.
  23. GreggInFL
    LOL. Okay, fair enough.
  24. GreggInFL
    Sorry, but I have to disagree. There will always be some knuckleheads sure, but when I wandered in here a couple years ago as a clueless wonder my first reaction was that this was one of the most professional, knowledgeable and helpful forums I'd ever run into. That's still true, IMHO. People don't always agree on everything, but that's life. "Hostile" is the last adjective that leaps to mind.
  25. GreggInFL
    Fine, so bring those ideas here.
