dhm001 got a reaction from PB92 in BTECH GMRS-V1 Review
Just got this radio several days ago and have been using it on the Baltimore 462.625 repeater with the supplied rubber duck antenna. Was able to talk several hours and didn't even dent the 1800 mAh battery of course it's new so time will tell, but I'll take it. I especially like the tone scanning feature it is great for figuring out repeater tones when on the road. Decided to order the Nagoya UT-308UV 21-Inch Magnetic Mount VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Antenna to beef things up a little.
Looking at the BTECH MOBILE UV-50X2 50 Watt Dual Band Base radio haven't decided yet, but maybe a good option for the condo. I already have a Pyramid P5-21KX power supply; hoping, it will be a good fit for this radio.

So the first step is to look at your radio's user manual and look for setup for repeater operations. If the manual does not have repeater operations setup your radio may not be repeater capable. Also, when asking questions about a specific setup it is important to tell us what radio model you have so we can help you with specifics.
When calling another station always use the call sign of the station you are calling first and your station call sign last. If you just want to talk to anybody simply say your call sign once or twice then say you are "listening" or "listening for any station."
