  1. Nope, sorry can't use it. It's already used in Holyoke, Mass. Listen to that frequency for a couple days and see how active it is. If it's fairly dead then it's probably a good candidate for use in your area.
  2. As much as you can. Which is 50 watts out the back of the connector.

    Or his friend might hear the kerchunk but because the signal is weak there might not be any audio passed through.
  4. And if he says no?
  5. They screwed up and came up with an excuse to rationalize it.

    Probably not reaching the repeater.

    You say your tones are set. Remove the Rx tone and only use the Tx tone for now. Are you hitting the repeater, hearing the kerchunk squelch release?
  8. Videos or it didn't happen.
  9. Guido and Sarduchi can pay him a visit.
  10. Mostly use it to keep in contact with the little lady. She's usually at home working or otherwise and I'm at the shop or going about gathering materials or going to a jobsite. I'll let her know where I'm going so she's in the know. When I'm in the state above I can use a different repeater and there are many on that repeater that I know and talk with. Usually if I'm close by someone I'll tell them I'm in the area. Crapshoot if they'll be on at that time. On occasion you'll get into a chatfest where one or more are on the other side, usually later at night when nothing is going on. The rest of the time the radio is pretty quiet. I usually run tones on the Rx so I'm only getting contact from the repeaters I select instead of random chatter from people talking to each other. On Wed we have a net where 30-40 people chime in. Always funny how the radio goes dead after that instead of people hanging around to chat afterwards. On occasion it does happen, but usually everyone is back to their own business.
  11. We have a very large church in a nearby town. Probably can seat 400-500 people at once. I can see needing a team of security for that size crowd. Or just have 32 people but only 10 or so on at once. Traffic control, seating etc.
  12. I have that programmed on my TD-H3 and when we shop there I have the radio tuned in. Usually you can here the overhead announcements and some of the behind the scene communications.
  13. Remember you need to put coax on the end feed of this which will add several inches to the height.
  14. LOL, the antenna is the problem... The LEDs are producing RFI and or the radio is sensitive to this noise.
  15. So they get to take all the risk, payments, rent etc and just allow the public to override the owners private property rights. Punctuation and spelling errors are making it tough to decipher what you tried to say.
  16. Went back to my order and it looks like I just used a CC, no PayPal.
  17. Had a good time with family. Had 15 of us gathered at my BILs. Bountiful hors d'oeuvres and then a fantastic dinner. I got to carve the Turkey.

  19. The RPT50 was never on sale at Amazon. It was one of their normal GMRS radios that was sold there. The only repeater I've ever seen there was the RT97, all 3 versions. The GMRS-50PRO and the GMRS-50V2 are sold on Amazon
  20. Does that go for the bull rushing up behind you? As the Queen of all GMRS always says they don't have enough manpower to do anything except for huge violations. And even then....
  21. Oh.... it's dBi.

    I liked seeing his negative comments. He's such a comedian.
  23. When I went for my license last year I got my FRN number, didn't have to associate a name to it and ended up with about 8 tabs open by the time I was done going through the process. I actually read the part 95 stuff they mentioned before I did my digital signature which I believe was 2 more open tabs (included in the 8). I believe I did mine on the weekend and it took til Tuesday before I got my email saying my license had been issued. I thought the process was overly complicated and kinda slow since most of it's automated. I also figured it was the weekend and nothing govt works on the weekends. So Monday it was received and process and Tuesday got sent out. It was a PITA but went smoothly. It should really be a one or two page thing and not have to have you traipsing all over the internet for a simple single point license.
