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.
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 !
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.
They're using their call sign, which Doesn't ID the repeater. That's the whole point, is to id the repeater with the call sign of who it's licensed to.
Part 95.1751
(c) Any GMRS repeater station is not required to transmit station identification IF:
(1) It retransmits only communications from GMRS stations operating under authority of the individual license under which it operates; and,
(2) The GMRS stations whose communications are retransmitted are properly identified in accordance with this section.
They do that at the local nursing home close to me. I thought about noting the names used, and Calling their Admin and reminding them of the Hippa Rules.
Maybe their use on Gmrs would go away.
