That depends on what you want to treat. Both are effective for bipolar disorder but risperidone is often more effective for the mixed form. On the other hand, if the patient is in a manic episode with severe agitation, aripiprazole may be a better choice. Similarly, they will both treat schizophrenia, but if agitation is a feature, aripiprazole is the go-to again. Aripiprazole is useful in Tourette's Syndrome while risperidone shows some promise in treatment of infantile autism. I could go on, but those are the high points.

Yeah, I don't expect it to perform as well as a whip in those circumstances, but for just running around doing errands in the city, it seems as if it will work well.

You might get one that's just fine. I haven't seen or read any reviews that reported this problem. I'm writing it off to a QC issue.

So...my radio suddenly and for no apparent reason, decided to stop transmitting. I even tried a reset to factory configuration but unfortunately, no dice. I'm really disappointed because I liked this little radio. However, as I've said before, quality control on inexpensive Chinese radios can be spotty. Maybe you'd get one that soldiers on for years. I always know when I go the cheap route that something like this may happen, so I'm not as upset as I would be if I had paid double or triple the price for it. I still really like the form factor with all the controls in the spkr/mic, and if I can find another one like that, I'll probably try it. I just got a Ham license, so I don't want a GMRS-specific one. I'll keep looking.

That's good advice. I'll start doing that.

There's not a lot of activity around here, and the UT-72G was good enough, so I never felt the need to replace it, but I agree it's not the best available. However, for the itty-bitty Ghost to outperform it was a surprise to me. In a lot of scenarios, it may be good enough. At some point, I may get the MXTA26 or something similar and throw it in the back of the car. If I feel the need, I can just screw off the Ghost and screw on the MX. I really like the fact that I don't have to worry about the Ghost in a drive-through or a parking garage, and on my black car, it's almost a stealth antenna.

Today I put a Midland Ghost Antenna on the NMO mag mount on my car. I figured a small black cylinder on the top of my small black car wouldn't attract a lot of attention. I was previously using a Nagoya UT-72G with its own mag mount. TBH, I didn't expect much from the Ghost Antenna, but I was quite surprised. I attached a Baofeng AR-5RM which emits 7-8 watts (even though it's nominally a 10 watt radio) and took a drive to check it out. I got about 15-17 miles from the Oklahoma City repeater and received a signal report from a kind GMRS user. I was at the extreme range I usually get, and he said my signal sounded like I had "a little strange interference" but he could understand me just fine. TBH, I was impressed. It didn't give up anything to the UT-72G, and in fact, may have been marginally better.

I thought of that, but I don't have anyone to help me test it. It does transmit to a HT as far away as I can hear it, but that wouldn't take any significant amount of power. That would be pretty depressing if the radio suddenly decided to stop transmitting. That's the most obvious, but I was hoping someone had a different idea.

I haven't personally used them. The response I got from the rep was, "You have a choice of 50 CTCSS and DCS (privacy code), and by default, these tones are turned off." However, if they provide software to turn them off or change them, it doesn't really matter what configuration they're in from the seller.

I recently acquired a Surecom SW-102 power and SWR meter. The problem is that when I hook it up to the Anysecu mobile and key the mic, nothing happens. Literally nothing whether I use an antenna or a dummy load. Yes, I'm sure I hooked it up correctly. It works just fine with my Baofeng HTs and Retevis HTs, but not with the Anysecu. The Anysecu is a nominal 20 watts, so I don't think it's overloading the device. Any ideas why my radio is invisible to the meter?

Per my conversation with the seller's rep, the 27V does not have codes enabled at shipping, but they can be enabled with the included software. As long as I get the software to change the codes, I'm okay with it either way.

Because many people will want to enable codes to ignore chatter from other people. Apparently, the provided software does that though. My concern was that they may come from the factory with some codes already programmed in which would make them pretty much incompatible other brands of radios. Some "bubble pack" FRS radios do that. Bear in mind that my initial concern about this radio was that the ad copy accompanying them on Amazon says they are only able to communicate with other Retevis radios. That appears to be incorrect regarding the 27V.

I'm sure I'll eventually come up with something more permanent. Since I tend to drive my vehicles until they fall apart, I may have a hole drilled and a permanent NMO mount installed. Before I do that, however, I want to make final decisions about where I want the radio, etc.

I passed the Technician test Thursday and I'm just waiting for the FCC. I need a good dual-band antenna for the top of my small car. It needs to be NMO compatible so I can use the mag mount I already have and not more than about 2 feet tall. For now, I'm going to use it with a Baofeng AR-5RM while I ponder exactly what I want as a permanent installation. So, what do you recommend?

Thanks! This is exactly the information I was looking for. I think I'll buy a few.
