I have 2 H3's and convinced my brother to get one on the Amazon sale.. It came quickly, but inadvertently he bought the Ham version.. No matter, I know how to change it over to GMRS... Got it changed over and programmed to our repeaters and such.. Went smoothly.. We just couldn't get it to work right.. It would receive somewhat but transmitting was a problem.. I finally decided it was defective and we boxed it up and asked Amazon for an exchange.. The exchange came today, got it programmed and zilch.. Recieving, but not transmitting at all. Same problem as before except maybe worse.. . Hooked it up to my fars-o-meter and get nothing even though the radio's meter shows all bars..
Now I think I may be missing something on the switch from Ham to GMRS.. Seems easy enough, but what the heck?..
