    I was able to make a New Years resolution years ago that I've kept to this day. Never to make another NY resolution.

    Nice out of the box thinking.

    Gotta wonder how many times you have to lose your radio to train a dog to find it.

    I'm thinking I want to know what was going on here......
  6. LeoG
    OK, maybe that's true. I don't know.

    Ummm ya. My Wouxun KGXS20G can be programmed by both. So that blows that theory to heck.

    Doesn't take much to get the signal to show 4 bars though. Has to be a pretty weak signal to show 3 or less on the meter. I know some of the hacked version firmware have made the power meter the signal strength meter which is a very cool idea.

    Hey! I found a difference in the new 240817 vs 240702 firmware. The signal meter actually works. On all versions previous to the 817 firmware when you received a signal the meter showed 4 bars. Today I just noticed that I was receiving a signal with 1 bar and it fluctuated to 2 bars. So it's actually showing signal strength instead of just receiving a signal.

    240702 works good for me. Fixed the previous firmwares issues of not releasing the squelch in a timely manner.

    Still not the govt.
  13. LeoG
    That goes for govt. The repeater is a private non govt owned machine. They can restrict your speech anyway they wish.

    You snooze you lose. If you pick a channel and then don't use it and someone else decides by monitoring that this channel is open then it's not his problem. You can't claim a channel. And if you aren't using the repeater for days or weeks on end then the other repeater isn't causing interference. You can't interfere with something that's basically on standby for weeks on end. Who does he think he is? The government?

    I know on my KGXS20G when the output went dead the radio still looked like it was transmitting. Only way I could tell was to put my watt meter on the output to find out it was zilch.

    Nope. Nice little radio for the price.

    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

    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.
