OHhhhhhh YES THEY DO !! QSL was around WAAAY before Gmrs was lol !!

I'm sorry you're experiencing the grief that you are, in your area. I Wish I could share some of the diversity of the folks here. Most of our Hams are discussing future antenna projects, current projects, ways to help the younger crowd get started with their stations, and even our local Gmrs guys are discussing antennas, tech projects and ways to improve their hobby ! A growing number of our hams are becoming licensed for Gmrs, and vice versa, with our Gmrs crowd seeking out classes for their Tech and General licenses. Most behave and conduct themselves as adults, and try to help fellow operators.

I'm all over the place lol! Local Gmrs repeaters, Simplex and Repaters on Ham radio, and on Murs as well, And on Brandmeister 3100 and 93 on Dmr.

I think the KG-935G plus was claimed to be IP 66 or 67, and I'm not sure what the IP ratings were for the 805 & 905 models.

I can suggest the Wouxun KG-935G Plus

Hugs for Days !!

Happy Friday the 13th !!

DO I ?? Yesssireee Randy, N9ZAS and WSCL633 !

I use the 2X4 with no ground plane and it's Consistently 1.2 -1.4.1 on 2m/ Murs/70cm/ and Gmrs and even covers 222mhz. @1.5.1 swr although it's not really intended for that band. The previous antennas are no ground plane, but seem to perform better with one.

The Comet SBB-5 are Excellent for mobile and even base use, and are ground independent. Also the Diamond SG-7900 as well with much more gain, and ground independent, but requires a permanent mount, or a 5" Magnet.

Continuous Wave, but I'm sure you knew that lol!

That is Cool !! Where did you come across that little gem ?

They Are solid antennas, although there are Better models out there for the 2m/70cm bands.

It Only takes 10 amps max to support a 50 watt transmitter, so not really true.

I Might even hang this in my Shack ... except I know others, possibly related to him.

The Anytone Tri band is a great choice too, For HAMS. The AT -5888UVIII which covers 2m/1.25m/70cm. and will RECEIVE Gmrs for those who want to scan it.

Gotcha ! I'll keep my ears open for your call !

Yes SIR !

Ok, that's Great !! I just graduated from my Skybridge Pi 4 to a Openspot pro4 and I'm much happier with it ! I'm typically lurking on TG3100 or on 91 Worldwide. I have my choices of my Rfinder B1+ or my Anytone 878 or my 578, or my xpr 6550 Maybe we'll yak sometime !

Steve, Are you active on Brandmeister Dmr talkgroups at all ?

I ran out of these for today lol, but had to add one !

Interesting how SOCAL didn't have any comments for this thread !

It seems RT Systems has become the go to for programming in both hobbies, and talking with them on the phone is a pleasure. All except for my moto's and a few Kenwoods I think I RT for everything else ! $$$

I'm hoping someday, after reading everyone's comments expressing disgust at his rudeness and Lack of common sense that he may one day have a epiphany and realize that he's being an ASS, but then I'm sure that's asking too much, Oh well.
