Cell phones do that all the time.

Did the repeaters change their PL tone? Did you play with the RX tone? With the H3 I know if you play with the RX it'll reset the TX tone. You have to either set the TX alone without doing anything to the RX. Or set the RX and the TX will be set also. It you reset the RX, the TX goes back to no tone.

Not exactly GRMS, but still broadcast. This is exactly what the FCC is there for. To regulate the usage of the airwaves and make sure they are used for the public benefit. https://www.yahoo.com/news/fcc-no-business-threatening-away-130202708.html

My radio has an uncalibrated LED graph. Asked the manufacturer if each LED meant something and in their wisdom they said they didn't think so. When all the LEDs are lit up it's full quieting. But anything below that is just a guess on my part. Mostly looking for the µV level of quieting for use on Radio Mobile software to have a guess at what it might sound like when I'm fooling around with the program. Again, I think about 2µV is about full quieting in UHF

Height is might.

We'll all need it.

Congress doesn't have the authority to reassign it's duties. But like you said it'll be a tough fight because the establishment does what it wants to. Congress was only suppose to be part time too. You did your work and went back to your real job. Now they've turned it into a full time position with pay and perks way beyond what servants of the people should have.

Oh absolutely he is. But it's wrong and they have usurped power they aren't authorized to wield. Just because it's been this way for as long as we can remember doesn't mean it's the way it's suppose to be. It's just like the 2nd amendment. Shall not be infringed. That's all they do to it.

Rules, law. When they are treated the same they are the same. Regulations with the force of law behind them is law. You have bureaucrats coming up with these regulations/rules and then enforcing them as if they had the power of law behind them. That's not the way things are suppose to happen. Not even sure if there is a determination of regulations in the constitution. Since when it was written the word regulate meant to keep in good order. Not what the modern definition is.

Not anymore. Only congress can make bills that can be signed into law. It's going to be a whole new world out there when they are forced to abide by our constitution. The original one.

You only date GMRS girls?

Since winter arrived here in the North East the incidence of ducting has gone to zero. Haven't had one ducting incident since.

One of my Wouxun KG-XS20Gs just quit on me. It's on the way back for testing and likely replacement. 160 day is what it lasted. So far the 2nd one is still going strong.

This is where I got mine. And the paperwork says 9.8dBi gain.
