[Can GMRS repeaters be linked to the web like Echo Link for hams?]

Thank you for your poignant reply.

Thanks.

 

He told me the questions were of a personal nature, not what one would be asked when making a payment on-line.  he said he felt it was very suspicious.  That is all I know.

[Trouble getting license]

I have a friend (about 1k miles away) who has been unsuccessful making an on-line payment with the FCC to get his GMRS license.

 

As background he has a ham ticket and is very computer smart.

 

When asked for payment, he is taken to a screen that appears to ask for too much unusual information (beyond just normal info for on-line payments).

 

He prefers to pay on-line versus by mailing a check.

 

He has tried different PCs, but same issue. 

 

Has anyone encountered this?

 

Thanks and 73s.

 

Pete

All excellent advice.  For the time will stick with a mag mount on cookie sheet close to window running 5 watts.

Any suggestions what works well in limited space areas?  Using mag mount now.

 

Thanks.
