When using an antenna calculator, do you shoot for the center of the band when inputting the parameters? IE: 467.725 (highest Tx) - 462.550 (lowest Rx) /2 + 462.550 = 465.1375. Would this put you at the exact center and result in the most accurate lengths to make your antenna, or am I overthinking the whole thing?
How are clubs added to MyGMRS? I was searching the clubs, and there isn't one in our area listed. We have a Facebook group that "acts" as a club, but it would be nice if it could be added here also.
I have a Btech UV-2501+220 VHF/UHF ham radio. First and foremost, i know it’s not part 95 approved for GMRS. I have been licensed in ham for 20 years and recently just got my GMRS license. But I would like to see if this radio can be programmed to hit a GMRS repeater. I have tried to follow the instructions and can’t get the offset frequency to come up on the screen when I key the microphone. Is it possible to program this radio for GMRS? This is mainly for practicing manually programming radios. I don’t transmit much at all (maybe only 50 times in my 20 year journey as a ham), but just trying to figure it out.
