  1. The FCC may levy the fine, but the money goes to the Treasury department as part of the General Fund. The only parties that quickly pay are those with licenses the FCC grants as they can cancel or deny further application or renewal.
  2. Congratulations on the new license. Yes, General is a fairly easy upgrade but be careful as the toys are expensive.
  3. Have you tried contacting ICOM? Their phone support is very good.
  4. My guess - FM CB will not supplant FRS because of the size of the units and their antennas.
  5. I'd contact Maxon for guidance as the connection between the units may not be standard in their standalone units. "
  6. You will still get some interference from the other repeater in overlap areas due to the phasing of the signals. Overall, it will work with the same frequency/tones.
  7. About 15% at most. Figure close to 10% but it's all dependent on terrain and weather.
  8. Using HTs, there will be no discernable difference in range for GMRS or amateur frequencies. "
  9. The Signal sticks come with male and female SMA connectors as well as BNC. I use the signal stick on all my HTs.
  10. The spec sheet for the RG400 cable shows a loss of 28.3 dB at 400MHz per 100 meters. RG8X has a 26.25 dB loss per 100 meters at 400 MHz.
  11. I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish with cross codes. No transmission is private unless it is encrypted. As you stated, anyone. not having a receiver code will receive and understand what is being sent. The only way to have a true, private conversation is either with two tin cans connected with string or on cell phones. NOTHING is private in shared spectrum.
