Not that meet your insanely specific, incorrectly used definition, no. Otherwise, no, we're definitely not in agreement

Basically no one disputes that. But now we're down an absurd semantic rabbit hole. I don't know of anyone who seriously claims humans evolved independently in the Americas. That's not what anyone means by "Native Americans". But it's the argument you (or someone who has your ear...) are trying to have for...some reason?

Exactly my point.

"Native Americans never existed" is certainly a take...

nevermind

HA! I commented on that video. You can get a similar result for <$300. Well, maybe not at current prices. But that's about where I am for a single car, pit-to-car setup, with super-het radios. Those Racing Radios are *usually* business band radio. I like the stuff he builds, but for a guy always talking about how broke he is, he sure seems to like throwing it around lol For the grassroots racer, it'd be cool if someone at that level would show normies how to do it for more reasonable money IMO. That system costs more than all my radio gear combined.

I don't even carry my CPR / BLS certification card around with me, and there's an exponentially greater likelihood I'll need to show that one. I've got a digital copy I can pull down if I ever need it. But until then...

Generally speaking, the "don't be a dick" principle will get you about 98% of the way there. Despite what you might run across on here...

They have had some spotty quality control, unfortunately. I really like mine, I have 4 of them. All tested good. But there are some that seem to just show up broken. A programming error where you couldn't transmit would get you the "YOU CAN'T DO THAT DUMMY" beep when you key up. If it's not doing that, and it's just outputting 0W, then yeah, they're probably NFG.

I thought it was one that's been neutered

Thankfully all laws (and rules) are moral and good... (I actually think that not linking repeaters on GMRS is a good rule. But rules are only as good as the enforcement thereof. If no one's going to enforce it....)

"illegally programmed" is...certainly a hell of a phrase to use.

Google tried.

EDIT: I didn't read onto the next page to see you answered my question haha.
