A GMRS radio is restricted to GMRS frequencies by design. You can't get around it. You can very likely listen to any frequency that the radio will allow you to input. But as for transmitting you are only allowed to put GMRS specific channels. On an open radio you can transmit willy nilly but it's likely not legal if you aren't licensed to do so. My Tidradio has an open mode and you can input whatever you want and transmit if it's in the range of the radio.

Freddy's the guy on one of my semi local repeaters that likes to hear himself talk. If no one answers him he'll just continue on. It comical at times.

You know Freddy?

So in the relay delay it's OFF, 1-9. When I turn it off the repeater doesn't respond at all. And when I set it to 1 through 9 there isn't much of a difference. Does anyone know the timing of the different levels, because it's certainly not seconds.

Temp mounting And I got my call sign on the radio

Never mind... I guess I had the screen scrolled down and couldn't see the options at the top. I found it. I haven't wrote it to the radio yet though.

Anybody been able to do this with the XS20G Plus?

Wife is a couple states away with the grand children. She won't know for a while.

This is the what the program looks like

Plus it looks like I'll have some extra time. I am painting cabinets and I'll run out of paint before my supplier will be able to mix up a new batch for me. So after this round I am free to roam about the airplane.

Not exactly. Right now I'm still thinking temporary. Might take a longer board and put another shorter on an angle to mount the radio on and slip the long board under the armrest between the seats. Don't really want to drill any holes into the truck yet. It's only 17 years old ya know. Glad I got the programming cable. I think it'll be a lot easier to put the info into the machine, especially naming repeater channels. The program works in the computer. I haven't interfaced with the radio yet. I think I have to put the driver for the cord into my computer before I plug anything in. I've already got the programming software setup and ready to write to the radio as soon as I know it works. I know, read first to make sure it's working right.

I don't know what happened. It snuck out of it's box and it's hiding in my truck

If I have to suffer... you have to suffer....

It's here.... Now all I have to do is wait until after work
