Well at the shop I have 50' of LMR400 and I need to get coax for the house.  So it looks like I can get away with the Airborne 10.  Plus it's a higher wattage transmitter than an HT.  It claims 20 watts out but I've measured it at an average of 25 watts when it's a 14 volt input in my truck.  Right around 18 watts when the voltage is at 12.0
Kinda what I figured when it's only going to be .3dB

The GMRS version of the radio is just that, a radio that will operate on those specified frequencies designated by the FCC for GMRS.  Same thing if you put it into HAM mode.  It won't be transmitting  on any out of band frequencies.
And open mode is just that.  You can transmit on frequencies that you shouldn't be transmitting on.  It's not being stupid, it's doing what it was designed to do.

My talkies did it to the stove and headlamp.  But that's at 5' or so.  The light is a good 35' away from my antenna.  And it doesn't activate when I key up.  It's when I unkey the mic when the light comes on.

Well I took advantage of the small bit of height I could gain.  Looked to be about 16"  Who knows, maybe it'll peak over the trees  LOL.
 
That was a joke son.  I doubt it'll do anything.

 

That is why the Chevron decision was struck down.  I think a lot of changes will be happening because of that change.  It should slow things down considerably because congress needs to get involved with anything they call a regulation/rule that is treated as law.

Just remember... you made me do this...🤣
 
I guess it's not thud but splash.

Stretches between Syracuse and Niagra Falls.  3 repeaters if I remember correctly.  I'd show you on the map but they've been removed.

Well I don't know
 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  thud.

It's almost like they have a rule for everything and anything so they can go after you any time they want.  It's nearly impossible to comply with all the rules/regulations/fake laws they come up with.  Some of them contradict another so they can pick and choose the side they want to use against you.
I try to follow the rules, but sometimes it's literately impossible to follow one while not breaking another.  And it's likely designed that way or made up by people who's left hand doesn't know what their right is doing.

Seems as though they don't really want this information to get out.  The "club president" that was interviewed really wasn't the guy to speak to.  They had permission to use the system but had no control over it.  The "custodian" is the guy that needs to be interviewed to find out what is really going on.
I have only myself to blame.  The system was fine until I went up to visit my grandchildren and used the repeater.  Unbeknownst to me it was linked.  But after I used it was when all this seemed to go down.
 
Ya, I'm kidding. 😉

They've had free reign over us for 40 years because of that bad decision in '84.  I think even though the decision was unconstitutional it would have been best for the people who knew better to make the decisions instead of a court that really didn't have the knowledge/experience to make those decisions.  Unfortunately we are talking about bureaucrats who love power and would do anything to have more and more.  And herein lies the problem with giving agencies power like that which they aren't authorized to have.  They make decisions that give them more power and continue to do so and then make rules/regulations with the power of law behind them without any congressional oversight or even input.  The courts got lazy and either didn't want to do their jobs or outright refused to do the job and deferred all authority to power hungry bureaucrats that only had their own interests in hand.
This took way too long to get rid of.  But at least now we are on our way to slowing new things way down because of overloaded courts.  And we won't have bureaucrats making decisions that give them power over the people to expand the govt to give themselves more power.
 
Yes, I'm one of those.

Digital will need it's own bandwidth and frequencies.  We can't have all that crappy digital noise on the analog channels.  Digital changed TV for the better.  But it was a hard battle and the switch over was brutal.

You did what you were asked.  It would have been nice to see CB vs GMRS because both of them are about the same wattage and vastly different frequencies and tech, AM vs FM

That's a really good answer.  Wish you had tried the GMRS on 5 watts to see how an HT might have worked.
