    Didn't think about that. I'm always in a full metal surround truck.

    Well then use a CB walkie talkie inside the cab. Almost any external antenna will beat the tar out of an antenna inside a vehicle.

    Doesn't seem like a comparison that fair. Using a 2 watt UHF with an integrated antenna inside a vehicle against a 4 watt CB with an external antenna. Hardly apples to apples. More like apples to fish sticks. Most UHF HTs claim 5 watts but put out more like 4. So if you put a GMRS on a small external antenna it would be much more of a fair comparison.

    Are you saying 462MHz will penetrate woods better than 27MHz. Because GMRS does pretty poor in wooded areas by my experience, especially in leafy woods

    I sort of agree. Especially from baby monitors.

    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......
  13. 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.
  20. 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.
  25. LeoG
    Cell phones do that all the time.
