BigMac

i don't know i just tried to ask for another radio check and the two guys that where talking did not respond so maybe it really is broken i will try again and ask my friend to come over tomorrow and see if it works talking to his walkie talkie

i have a tram antenna and a magnet mount

he said he was at the dump so he was about 8 miles away from me i have a anytone AT-778UV i downloaded the info from the website and programed it with chirp i don't understand how they know its not a pro radio honestly i feal bad about it maybe talking on the repeaters is not for me and i just need to stick with point to point

i was trying to contact some people on SW IEK in post falls Idaho i keyed up and asked for a radio check it was kind of staticky but it worked they told me my radio is from kmart or radioshak and i need to throw it away so i need to know what one to get to talk to them i would like to keep it under 100$ my radio seams to sound ok when i talk point point with my friend and he has a baifang so i was thinking about getting one like his and maybe get rid of the anytone any ideas on a radio to talk to the people on the repeaters
