I thought once you apply for a license that the licensee's address is on record!!! How can you even ask for privacy? unless you use a po box as your address

Monitor on a ham band is fine but not transmit on a GMRS license

Thanks for the clarification as always

Can you elaborate more by what you mean as duplicates?

As always there will be new features that someone will not know how to use at first but once you get used to it it will become easy.

If you put it that way then I'm not the only one that needs support. lol

I support the right to free speech too, but if they are going to use the radios, they should use them legally. Half of the time they don't even check the if the frequency is in use, they just key up like they own the frequency. There are times when I do hear these conversations on the input side of the repeaters too, and no call signs ever given when they start and finish.

And when you try to tell them that they're using their radios illegally they come back at you with a snark comments. I actually told them I'm going to report them to the FCC and after I said that i never heard them on the channel again. So they actually know what they're doing is illegal

on simplex you don't use any tones that's the reason why you pickup all traffic on that channel even you're on simplex.

Well just be careful and be safe out there.

"GLOBAL WARMING!!!"

This is highly unusual to get this on the west coast

Yes they are cause I have one

I can understand if this happens once in a while, but it's happening everyday. The thing is that the signal will one day comes in strong and there's day it's weak. (But on 462MHz that's quite far to be receiving anything from 470-490 range)

Yes 451 MHz here locally is used by local television stations and also their news helicopters However this signal I'm receiving is defiantly on the 462MHz side.

I'm sure this question has been asked, but is it legal to broadcast Television programs on FRS? I thought it's illegal on all band correct me if I'm wrong. Every morning I scan all band as a hobby of mine when it came on the 462mhz the scan stops on FRS7(462.7125) and I pick up a faint but readable signal. Not regular transmission but like a program of some sort being broadcasted. What my question is it legal? Thanks in advance. Hopefully I posted this on the right location if not feel free to move it.

you can keep your callsign, but all correspondence will be sent to your new mailing address

In my opinion the FCC won't do anything unless it interferes with a life and death situation.

Wow I want to know what radio you have that you can talk to the Bahamas!!! (lol)

That's what's going on here in the Nothern California area right now. Once you let them on you will never get a word in, they (DMR USERS) will take over the band and render all analog radios useless.

They are here to learn just give them information's that they need to get started, and start them on their way

My question is why so much power just to send data? I am aware that they're outdoors in a rural area.

Oh i see.

Does Garmin transmit on GMRS?

Why didn't I hear anything about this until now?? and this supposed to have been granted in 2021? To me there's something fishy going on here.
