WSDV406

Thanks to @TheMeatTrapper (WRN250), @WSDV406 (me), @WSIY431, @SteveGibbs (WSBM431), @WRXS569, @WSAQ712, and @WSGE773 for taking time out of their busy Wednesday evening for this week's check-in net. I know today is a somber day for most folks that follow current events. But I greatly value these weekly times to connect with a few good folks for a quick chat. Tonight's question was: "What's a memorable piece of advice that has stuck with you?" A sampling of the answers were, "Not everyone was raised the same as you". "If women don't find you handsome, make sure they at least find you handy". "Always assume the microphone is hot". And "Trust your gut no matter what". If you're in range of the Brentwood 600 repeater, listen in to our weekly nets on Wednesday at 8pm. If you want to key up, feel free to do so. It's just a quick press of that little PTT button. We won't bite. Thanks to everyone that takes time out of their busy week to spend a few minutes connecting and getting to know each other a little better. *Point your browser to (or share with a friend) SCTNGMRS.com or SouthCentralTNGMRS.com for easy access to the club page.....and make sure to click "follow" so you can stay up to date with new posts in our club forum.*

Not quite sure what you're asking, regarding privacy on simplex. Can you clarify at all? Regarding the DM32, are you referencing the baofeng dm32 (dmr radio)?

Thanks to @TheMeatTrapper (WRN250), @WSDV406 (me), @WSIY431, @SteveGibbs (WSBM443), @WRXS569, and @WSGE773 For checking in on this rainy Wednesday evening. Tonight's net question was: "What is one thing on your bucket list you look forward to checking off?" Answers were things like "a fly-in trip to a remote Alaskan fishing village", "a month on the gold coast of Australia where the beer is cold and shrimp are warm", "break 200mph on two wheels" and many more very interesting answers. Join us Wednesdays at 8pm on 462.600. You're welcome to simply monitor if you wish, but consider keying up and saying hi if it feels right to do so.

What an EXCELLENT breakdown and explanation Steve! Thank you for taking the time to write that up! I think most people just get caught up in what tones to program and we don't take the time to actually learn how they work and what their purposes are.

Thanks to @WSJR216, @TheMeatTrapper (WRMN250), @LakeFreak (WSGH297), @WSDV406 (me), @Jabo48 (WSIY431) -- simplex, relayed in via 250, @SteveGibbs (WSBM443), @WRXS569, @WSGE773, and @WSJP854 for taking the time to connect and participate in the check-in net tonight. Tonight's question was: "What's your favorite season of the year and why?" A sample of the answers were: "Fall - because of food, fragrances and football. Winter - Because it keeps the riff raff out of the woods. Fall - Because of fires, camping, and getting outdoors. Summer - Because he operates mostly from his reptile brain." For all of the responses, you'll have to join the net (or at least listen). The point of these nets is to connect with and get to know each other, so key up, and say hi soon. *Point your browser to SCTNGMRS.com or SouthCentralTNGMRS.com for easy access to the club page.....and make sure to click "follow" so you can stay up to date with new posts in our club forum.*

Welcome to the GMRS fam, brotha! Glad to have you. I can't get out to most of the repeaters you monitor, but I'm always monitoring Brentwood 600, if you're able to get out to that one. As a matter of fact, this club has a check-in net on that repeater on Wednesday evenings at 8pm. So key up over there with us whenever you're available and if you can hit that one. I also may be able to make contact with ya via Lebanon 675. Glad to test that sometime with ya. Hopefully I can hit the repeaters a little further south once i get my antenna and base station (finally) setup.

Thanks to WSGH297, WSBM443, WRXS569, (and me, WSDV406) for jumping on the net tonight at the new location of Brentwood 462.600, tone 123.0. See yall next Wednesday at 8pm. Don't be shy. Just key up, check in, and connect with other folks that can hear you. We might need each other one day.

We're moving the club's Wednesday night nets to the Brentwood repeater at 462.600. Tone is 123.0 in/out. Everyone that can hit the Brentwood Grasslands repeater at 462.650 (former location of the net) should be able to hit the Brentwood repeater at 600 just as well. See everyone at 462.600 at 8pm on Wednesday night for a quick checkin net.

Thanks to WRMN250, WSBM443, WRXS569, WSGW884, WSCY890, and a late check-in (on the Gallatin repeater) WSAT493 for participating in the 7/16/25 net. Yall rock. The more we can connect, the better we can become.

Make sure you join our weekly check-in net on every Wednesday at 8pm on the Brentwood Repeater at 462.600. The tone is 123.0. Normal +5 offset. *NOTE - the location has been changed from Brentwood GRASSLANDS at 650 to Brentwood 600, as of 7/23/25.*

Welcome, 874! Looking forward to catching ya on the air. Plenty of folks here to help you grow your knowledge. Don't hesitate to ask a question. Welcome to the GMRS family!

I wish I could provide some help, but that question is out of my wheelhouse. I sure hope some folks that have much more technical knowledge than I can help you figure out your rx and/or tx issue at the affected location. I hope to learn something in the process, as well.

Welcome Tim! Jeffrey Davis, WSDV406 here, in Hermitage. The Gallatin Repeater at 650 is by far the most active that I hear, in the area I'm able to monitor at least. Other than that, Brentwood 600 and Brentwood Grasslands (also at 650) are the next most active for me. I can't currently reach a lot of yall's great repeaters further south with my current setup. Looking forward to reaching you soon though. Welcome to the group brotha. Looking forward to making contact with ya

I'm your Huckleberry.

Welcome Seth! I'll start monitoring Murfreesboro a little more. I can RX it, but don't think i come through on TX.....not until I get my antenna up on the outside of the house. Same with Lebanon for me. I can communicate clearly through Brentwood and Grasslands though.

Has anyone heard about the brand new BTech GMRS-50Pro? Good god!

Yes indeed. They play Battleship by Radio on the Gallatin repeater at 462.650 (141.3Hz in/out) on Wednesdays at 730pm. The Gallatin repeater bleeds over with the Brentwood "Grasslands" repeater (same frequency, different tone).

Welcome, and glad you're putting that license to use! I recommend (and use) the tid radio h3 and h8. You'll definitely want a few extra batteries if you go that HT route.

Interesting. I actually heard somebody on the Gallatin repeater this afternoon expressing that they were having the same issue. Was that you? I can't recall the call sign of the person that was expressing that issue. I'll say this, I have a couple of h3's and a couple of h8's (and ive programmed several of both for other people), can I have had 1 lemon. It would receive wouldn't transmit, the programming wouldn't stick, and a few other weird issues. So my first bit of advice to you would be order a new one and see if everything works as it should. If it does, then you simply just had a lemon. My second bit of advice would be to unlock it. That's the way I use all of my h3 and H8 radios. See if things work right once the restrictions of GMRS mode are gone.

What mode is your TD-H3 in (GMRS, HAM, Unlocked)? Do you have your repeater channel offsets setup properly?
