ULTRA2

What's the difference between the TK880 and the TK8160? I have the 8160 as a base, and I'm happy with it.

Thanks for the useful information it's greatly appreciated.

GMRS 21? a shared frequency? I don't think they are using FRS I don't normally pick up FRS traffic. But the station was heard while I was talking to someone on the repeater side. And like I said I had my received tone squelch on and I still heard their signal through the repeater.

No callsign heard just conversation between manager and security staff.

Is it legal for businesses to use the simplex side of a GMRS frequency to conduct their business? I hear a lost prevention department from a store using GMRS ch21 (467.700(?))not sure which store it's from e every time when I talk to someone on the repeater side I hear other traffic in there that I know is from simplex because I have another radio monitoring the same frequency but without the tones. And it interferes with the repeater traffic every time when I try to talk to someone I hear another station in there. And I do have my received tones on.

Not all repeater range on mygmrs repeater listing is correct just f y I to all it's up to the repeater owners to list the correct range of their repeaters and not all of them do that. Sent from my Z5156CC using Tapatalk

That's what I have on my TK3180. Sent from my Z5156CC using Tapatalk

I would check mygmrs.com to see if you have repeaters in your local area. To answer your question on wither gmrs dying off in your area is open for interpretation

I do both. But I'm primarily on repeater. The main reason I'm on repeater is for distance communications and simplex for local traffic within one or two miles from my location.

By FCC rules you need to indentify your station every 15 minutes when you have a QSO and as you said to end your conversation and sign out too. Sent from my Z5156CC using Tapatalk

Depends on how much power you put into it. Sent from my Z5156CC using Tapatalk

Well that sucks cause my license don't expire until 2028. I really wished they did this earlier

Hi I wouldn't know what brand meter that youll be needing so I would recommend either looking on eBay or Amazon. Hopefully there you'll be able to find what you need.

It depends on which repeater you want to listen to 550 is on 462.550 and that is channel 15 each different repeater has different ctcss tones you got to look up the name of the repeater and find out the tones

What location are you in and what frequency that the interference is on? And you are correct in saying that this incident has criminal intent. Just let your daughter know if that person comes on the air again and ask her personal question that she do not talk to that person. Recording is a good idea but whoever the person is may not be in one location and may be moving around so that he cannot be traced exactly where he's at. I would just notified the local authorities and let them know what has been going on. And inform the FCC of your current situation. Other than that I cannot give you any suggestions on what to do I wish I can do more

I'm not sure what you mean by tone in and out? Sent from my Z5156CC using Tapatalk

I'm aware you said simplex is not allowed may I ask why?

Also it's GMRS CH 18

You may also have picked up the repeater id tone for ch18

Hi the frequency you posted is FRS (Family Radio Service) CH3 you may have picked up stray signal coming from the frequency. Please note that GMRS CH 18 and FRS CH3 is close to each other frequency wise CH 18 is 462.625 and as you posted FRS CH3 is 462.6125 as you can see the frequency is only 12.5khz away from each other. (PLEASE CORRECT IF WRONG)

Only you can see your own warning points section

Thanks for the quick response

Hi this is more a question than an answer. I just want to know is there any rules stating that repeater owners that list their repeater have to have a valid callsign to list their repeater on here. Is there a rule in general that the owner have to have a GMRS license?

That also maybe the Medics on the field and the hospital conversing. Those conversations are normally encrypted so that might be what your hearing.

THATS FRS CH7 THAT IS A SHARED FRS/GMRS FREQUENCY IF IM NOT MISTAKEN. ABOUT WHAT YOU HEARD IT COULD BE ANYTHING. I DON'T KNOW THE AREA YOU MAY BE IN BUT THE ASSUMPTION OF HOSPITAL USE IS NOT FAR OFF.
