  1. Anyone have any experience with this model Dosey meter? I’m looking to use it with cb equipment for setting dead key and modulation settings, and power measurements.
  2. Some groups around here still run cb radio for off roading. I run gmrs too.
  3. Been a SKYWARN spotter for about 5 years now. 2 of our gmrs repeaters where I live are used for SKYWARN too, when severe weather happens.
  4. I did a road trip from OH to Key West Fl, and monitored gmrs ch 19 & 20, and heard nothing the whole time. My CB was more active, especially in heavy traffic! I did call out a few times on my gmrs radio, and heard nothing.
  5. Doing a road trip from OH to Jackson, WY area over the holidays, and wondered how much CB & GMRS activity there might be in the area? Most of the areas we’re gonna be in, won’t have cell service. Nearest repeaters I saw on the map, were across the boarder in Idaho.
  6. I was replying topic, and it won’t let me delete it
  7. We usually run ch 16 or 14. We have a lot of unimproved county roads you can off-road on in SE OH. Also like to go to Black Mountain off road area in Harlan, KY, a couple times a year.
  8. I still run a cb in my truck and a base station at home. It’s still fairly active where I’m at in OH. I still like talking skip on SSB, and it’s still king of the road for traffic and weather info.
  9. It is now working. I plugged the usb cable in while the radio was turned off, and started working on com port 4 after I turned the radio back on. Doesn’t make any sense, but at least it’s working!
  10. Went to program a KG 905G, and it will not connect with radio. The com numbers are greyed out and can’t pick one to use. And Buy Two Way radios is closed on Saturdays!! ( go figure) my Retevis software works fine and I’m running windows 10. Anyone know of a fix?
  11. Another vote for Bells CB.
  12. I’m using a Wouxun KG 905G. It’s basic HT with no bells & whistles, but suits my needs and works great. If I was to buy another one, I’d get the 935G.
  13. I have the GXT 1050’s, and use em for hunting and fishing trips and they work great! I give em out to use when on road trips.
  14. I got a lot of static with the antenna that came with it.
  15. Retevis RA86. Works great for a plug and play radio.
  16. I recently got a RA86 and it’s worked great so far. The programming software was easy to use. I’m using a ghost antenna with it. The rinky dink antenna that came with it, left a lot to be desired!
  17. Appreciate the reply! Gonna order one this afternoon.
  18. Can anyone tell me if the Retevis RA86 can do split tones repeaters? Thinkin about putting one in my work truck.
  19. I would contact Midland and see if there's something they could do. I hve the MXT 275, And it's worked well so far.
  20. I use mine for hunting and fishing trips, traveling and emergency comms in the Florida Keys during hurricane season.
  21. Can anyone tell me how many watts the T71vp3 puts out oh the high setting? I’ve seen it listed anywhere from .5 - 2 watts.
  22. Ordered a pair of Midland Xtalkers for a friend who lives in the Florida Keys. They’ll be handy to have around during Hurricane season.
  23. I’ve had my President Thomas for year, and works great for what I need it for. You’ll like FM. We use 24 FM quite a bit on hunting & fishing trips.
  24. Another vote for ch 19.
