With that said... we're done with this thread on my end.

Nah...I get it. I was just sharing that I use this site as a tool to learn...and have fun when appropriate. Perhaps when I gain more knowledge I too can chirp

I'm sorry to be the fall out guy. I'm here to learn about GMRS, and perhaps someday, contribute to GMRS or GMRS related hooligans. Clearly, this thread has taken a turn AWAY from GMRS. . . . just sayin. No offense intended.

Um. For a second I thought you were talking about my mind.

Could you tuck it between the seat and center console?

Aloha from Hawaii @WSCE937

I have had the same issue. I allowed it to run. Yes it appeared totally sketchy to me as well, but I believe I chose "rock". Yes I was as skeptical as you, and ran it on a standby laptop and everything went fine with no other issues. Vince WRZK593

I would steer clear and not even try it, knowing that you can return it to Amazon. I didn't look at the radio you mentioned at all. I just went straight to the reviews. Of note: (1) Every review was on the plus side. (b) Only one review was from a licensed HAM operator. (iii) EVERY REVIEWER RECEIVED THE PRODUCT FOR FREE, IN RETURN FOR THEIR "REVIEW". But, if you're still looking at it, they have a "9 Watt" GMRS HT.... Again, all reviews are from Amazons Vine Free Product Review incentive.

I'm new to all of this radio stuff too. But I'm old in mind and body

I'm a little sketchy on your post.... Show "us" ?

I want to contribute to this thread, but I have nothing. No experience. No longevity. And no reason to speak about anything I know nothing of. HOWEVER, There ARE GMRS/HAM operators here in Hawaii that could contribute. We're in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and are important in relay/global communications. I personally KNOW NOTHING. BUT... I would like to challenge all of the HAMS in Hawaii to expand their networks and show more interest in GMRS

Oh. Sorry. I meant ohm my

Ohhhh now I understand the deceptive level of effort involved! I did go back to ensure that I didn't claim someone else's repeater, and fortunately, I had enough functioning brain cells (at the time) to Star them as my faves. Here in Hawaii, there are VERY few GMRS repeaters, so it's definitely in my best interest to respect, and help the respective owners. I'm glad I came across this thread. Vince-WRZK593

I may have unintentionally done this myself more than once. I'm really not sure. I'll have to go back and take a look. In my mind, "My Repeaters" can be misinterpreted as favorites. My apologies if I erred. Vince - WRZK593

Thank you so much for the presentation. There were a number of points that I was completely ignorant of. Thank you again! Vince
