This is my family. The wife and I are active. She somewhat clueless on programming but knows the ins and outs of getting in contact with others. My youngest son seems to have a clue as we were using them today when we were using separate vehicles getting supplies for a brick patio. Finding each other in the store, relaying information when I was getting the truck to the forklift for loading. Even getting a breakfast sandwich. Got it with a poppy seed roll. My sister and my brother might know the concept but lack of experience. Not a good plan.

I wouldn't worry about it one bit. You are providing a limited service. It's not any of your fault about their misunderstanding of the way a repeater works. It's very likely out of the 100 that are signed up only 15 of them will be using the repeater during an emergency. And they'll also learn that you need to take turns and be patient for the use of a limited service. Sounds like you would like them to use it on a regular basis instead of just for emergencies. I think some will come around to that.

My dozen CCR Tidradio H3s are great as far as I'm concerned. A bit scratchy in the speaker, but it gets loud. I have a Wouxun XSKG20G and it doesn't get half as loud as the HT does. Now I also have the H3 setup to listen to the nearby airport which is pretty cool. CCR

If you studied the constitution you'd know that driving is not a privilege other than for commercial traffic. They've upsurped this right from you and now you have to beg and pay the govt to use the roads you pay for.

The govt should know almost nothing about you. And yet they know way to much. And the problem is they won't be satisfied until they know every step you take and every penny you spend and exactly what you spend it on. Pure violation of your 4th

Kind of a pain because you have to register and there are tons of variables to set. But it does a respectable job in predicting where the signal will be or not. I suggest setting the reliability at least to 95% and I usually keep it at 98.5%. Set the strong signal between 14 and 24dB You can find your Rx threshold in your radio specs. Mine says .25uV but I keep mine higher to keep things more realistic. Currently I have mine at .316uV which is -117dBm. High resolution is fine. When you want to be critical you can use Very High Resolution. But it takes substantially more time. https://www.ve2dbe.com/rmonline_s.asp

Sure, but the govt likely isn't listening and it's not being stored in the Utah facility like every cellphone, text, email and digital transmission is.

I don't want any kind of national ID. Whether it's for voting or any other purpose. The govt has enough information on all of us without us being categorized even more so. One thing I like about my radios/HTs is that I can leave my govt tracker (cellphone) at home. Keeps the govt out of my business more.

Since you can only vote in the state you reside in, then it should be fine to have a state standard.

I have the UT-72 and it's not a great antenna and it didn't impress me. But it gets me way farther than an antenna in the truck. I run the MXTA26 with a mag mount on the cab of my Truck and think it does very well and I'm happy with it. Those are the only two I own.

They use to have many many places to vote. Maybe a couple thousand people assigned to each location. At the end of the night it was easy to count all the votes and then add them to the larger totals. Now they insist on having central voting locations that deal with 10s of thousands of people which makes it hard to tally all the votes in one night. This is by design. Central planning and having things done from one area. One size fits all is the govt way. Much better to have many small locations who can count all the votes before midnight. If there is an error it's is a small error instead of a catastrophic error with huge consequences. Small countries can have the results before midnight and yet state with multitudes less population need a week or two to tally the results. We no longer have election day, we have election season. This needs to be trimmed down a lot. Maybe Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and then election day. More than enough time to have everyone cast their vote. Mail in voting should be limited to people overseas that can't be present or people in the states with valid excuses. The machines were suppose to make it easy and with quick results. Now the machines make it complicated and the counting takes substantially longer than in yesteryear when we did it by hand.

Please be me. Please be me.

Got the bugout bag of radios always ready along with a small repeater system.

Some states say they won't know the results for 10 to 13 days. You have plenty of time.

Says it right there.

Did you try replacing the GFCI outlet? They do go bad.

Kentucky Touch Screen Repeatedly Won’t Allow Voter To Select Trump – Election Officials Deny Malfunction — Then 4 Hours Later Admit Issue With Ballot Marking Device The debunking has been debunked. And even if it couldn't be reproduced you can see it on the video. At no time did he touch any other pad. So how did the one below get activated?

Whoever might that be?

I've always read it as access request are disabled.

The best and most practical way to have the power generator follow the AC cycle is to run it through a synchronized inverter. That way whatever you throw at the inverter is aligned perfectly with the grid.

Ya, I live in and work in faraday cages. My shop is a metal building and my house has aluminum siding. Walking into either and all signals fade. Both house and shop have cell phone boosters so I can have a cell signal. In the shop the signal is better than it is outside. It's not that way at my house.

I can see the planes. I'm just shocked at how it's limited. The 21 mile repeater is in the direction of the window. The 17 mile repeater is on the opposite side of the building. The other thing I was shocked about is it's AM and not FM. I had to turn the AM option on my radio for those frequencies to show up.

I've programmed my TD-H3 radio to listen in on the nearby airport. Can be interesting at times. Currently at my house, behind the small hill it's just static. If I put it on my base antenna it's perfect. I can hear the tower and all the airplanes responding. My shop is 1/2 mile from the airport and I'm in a metal building. I keep the radio in the window using a Nagoya 771G antenna and I can hear the tower and some of the planes. Mostly the planes are just hash and not understandable. Is getting an antenna tuned to 120MHz really going to do anything for my reception? It would be in the same place, in the window. I keep it there and I can hear the 3 repeaters I use (7, 17, 21 miles away). I find it very interesting being 1/2 mile away from the airport and not able to hear the airplanes where I can hear them at my house which is another 2 miles away.

LI East End repeater in NY on 575 announces by voice on the 35 after and on the hour it sometimes gives weather. It's a pay to play repeater and I only hear it when the tropospheric ducting is just right. But I hear it often enough to know it does voice and CW for ID.

My 5 watt HT transmitting on 467MHz will turn on my wife's headlamp she uses to walk the dog at night. It has turned on my stove, thankfully it is a 2 step process to activate any burner. My 25 watt mobile radio on 467MHz will activate my neighbors motion detector light. In my shop, again at 467MHz it will activate my Fein Dust Extractor which has a tool activated port. None of this happens on 462MHz. My buddy has a Kenwood HT and when he's transmitting near his garage flat screen it freezes the picture. When he unkeys it resumes.
