  1. This is a hypothetical question. On a system that has a cb radio and an antenna tuned to 1.2 vrs 1.3 channels 1 and 40, when you add a cheap 150 watt linear amp and the swr goes stupid high, where would you install a 30 mhz low pass filter and where would you measure swr after installing the filter???
  2. Thanks for the pictures. It's much simpler on a extended cab pickup with a headache rack.
  3. GMRS antenna is a Pictel MUF 4505. The CB antenna is a either 4 ft. Firestik, or a 4 ft FireFly.
  4. After my 2001 Superduty F350 was stolen, I replaced it with a 2019 Jeep Wrangler 2 door. I never realized how problematic mounting antennas for GMRS & CB was. 50 watt GMRS and a CB (with a little extra). Suggestions with pictures would be appreciated.
  5. Everytime I post a question here I prove, once again, how little I know.
  6. After putting a NA771g antenna (462 mhz ) on a UV82HP radio. What vhf frequency will it be tuned for?
  7. Did any of the original MXT 275 Midlands work correctly?
  8. Hi, the GMRS V-1 radio was originally sold as a 5 watt radio. I have 2, and they put out a measured 3.7 and 3.4 watts. I'm not sure why but they (Btech) changed their adversing to 2 watts. I suspect they were advised by the FCC to change their radios.
  9. Would advertising make them admit they were wrong? Or would they just change and NOT mention it?
  10. Consider this comment as food for thought. I've noticed some interest in HT radios with higher tx wattage. As these are held occasionally as a phone, against one's head, how desirable is a 10 watt HT? Even held 6 to 8 inches from your mouth is 10 watts safe?
  11. This forum has multiple reviews on both the Btech, and the Midland. PLEASE read them before you spend your money.
  12. Changing GMRS from wide to narrow band would be an easy way to get rid of GMRS completely. The elimination of wide band radios and repeaters would leave most serious GMRS users discouraged with the thought of replacing their equipment. The FCC could use the argument that as both FRS & GMRS share frequencies they should both use the same band width. The reduction in usage would justify eliminating both radio services. Just saying.
