    I would say that two watts is probably sufficient if you are using a good repeater that is mounted on a tower. However, if the repeater is on a roof or in a location that isn’t on a tower, two watts may not be ideal unless you are within 0.5 miles of that repeater.

    It kind of depends on your needs. I would say that a 10-watt radio will be sufficient for most situations, but if you're looking to cover greater distances, a 50-watt radio would be the best option. You don't necessarily need to spend a lot on a 50-watt radio; you can get a Baofeng GMRS version for around $20. It works well indoors or in a car, but using an outside antenna will improve its performance significantly.
  4. 1. What was the purpose of establishing a worldwide repeater system when other countries do not have GMRS? 2. GMRS has only a few repeater frequencies. If all the repeaters in the United States operate on the same frequency, it will lead to interference, including with some rescue repeaters.
  5. What is the topic regarding children and GMRS/FRS? or this topic it's about it important event related to it?
  6. Oh man, you don't know what they can do; they just go to GitHub and download their new version!
  7. Yes, I heard that some QUANSHENG can use MDC-1200!
  8. "Ha, that sounds fun! Do you have a Baofeng or a Motorola radio?"
  9. Every repeater owner has different thoughts about it. My repeater doesn't allow a Roger beep, but it allows MDC-1200 because it's a Motorola.
  10. $20 Baofeng's antenna looks like. is Made of copper wire?
  11. The answer is yes, the radios are yours, not someone else's. However, the repeater owner doesn't want you to use them. Not all FRS radios have Roger beeps; some do not. Therefore, I advise you not to use Roger beeps on the repeater. You can communicate with your family using Roger beeps, but please refrain from using them on the repeater. to those who are new to this MDC is NOT BEEP is an ID.
  12. FRS radio is constantly beeping, and it won't stop. MDC-1200 VS Beepppp and Beeeeeeep

  14. Copper is always the best material; it works well for HF but is not as effective for UHF and VHF.
  15. This video will teach you how to set up the CTCSS and the DCS.
  16. I'm not sure; someone told me about it in the FRRL.
  17. AI could probably handle it!
  18. unless someone understands the Morse code. Morse code = English to those who understand. I wasn’t aware that you could do that. I believe it’s prohibited.
  19. The height of the transmission antennas also contributes to the signal quality.
  20. Any related reports will be submitted to priyom.org. Example: XXXX UTC weather: XXXXX What type of antennas you are using? What type of radio you are using? Approximately location.
  21. Certainly, yes. If you are on the 20th floor, it will go 50 miles, and then boom!
  22. A 10-watt device can operate between 10 to 15, while a 5-watt device typically runs from 5 to 10.
  23. The ISS orbits about 250 miles above Earth, which is why a 5-watt radio can be used. Without a repeater, a 5-watt signal typically reaches a distance of only 5 miles (Source: I tested).
