wow

Woxoun kg-1000,Daiwa CN-901V…… You forgot to name drop your coax…. Or give a model number to the diamond antenna glad I don’t worry about swr. I just buy good antennas and run it. I’ve got better things to do then spend time watching my swr meter. But any one that spends $400 on a radio and another $250 on an swr meter and who knows what on an antenna has issues anyway. I’d bet cheap coax and junky antenna has something to do with it. for $650 a can set up 3 50w base stations that radiate over 550w with 200mile range. And all with no swr meter or silly questions to a stranger group of man-queen worshipers.

Great to hear. That’s what it’s for. I would not have figured you would have needed or wanted to use repeaters since it wasn’t a place you lived, worked or played. Gmrs is a tool. Gmrs is Not a way to meet strangers.

Why do you need it to I’d. FCC doesn’t require it. None of the 20 local repeaters I have around me ID

Why?

Testing would not be needed if people cared to read the rules like they said they did before the paid the fees. as for FRS and gmrs, it used to be FRS was not on 15-22 but FRS grew to much. I say to bad get the kids off repeater channels. At this point gmrs people need to stop using gmrs as ham light. FRS people need to stop using frs as gmrs. Murs is fine just the way it is I never hear any one on it anyway. Cb is very usefull still for the road truckers and what not. Gmrs people that want a road channel to chat with strangers and meet up at truck stops late at night need to get off gmrs and on the cb. Cb is very much alive and well on the highways. Gmrs people need to use gmrs for friends and family while doing an activity. Thats it thats all. Stop all this idle chit chat stuff. people are trying to use gmrs for everything and it isn’t working.

Might wanna get some good radios that dont have all that confusing limiting junk on them. A radio that speaks the same language as other gmrs radios. yea yea que the guy that claims he is a queen

Gmrs 460mhz antennas don’t need to be grounded however most will be ground plane antennas. And in this case no good ground plane exists. A mag mount won’t work and it’s going to be hard to get access under the roof for an nmo mount. You’re gonna have to go with a no ground plane and an articulating lip mount. A Rear fender might be the best spot.

Wow. Thats a load of useless info.

Wow I’m sure he didn't think of contacting them first. Der

Might want to come to the conclusion that it’s a cheap throw away unit that is not ment for every day use. It will probably cost more to repair then to replace. If you’re using it that much you may want to invest in a better unit. Motorola repeaters can be had for less then the 97 and have a continuous use ability.

What? Rt systems and chirp are the most simple easy to use programming softwares out there. It’s just no one wants to learn. They are so easy my 10 year old grand kids use them all the time. It’s like saying driving a stick is hard but millions of people every day do it with no problem. Geesh some people are so lazy.

A woxoun with an issue? Strange. That never happens.

AMAZING!!!! What a very small amount of literacy does. Manuals come with radios for a reason. They are also available on the internet webby thingy.

While I like the ut72 and think it would work well for most people the mxt26 is a big step up. However the 2x4 is a much bigger step up. It doubled our tx and made our rx much more clear. Other then one old truck still running the 72 all our other trucks now run 2x4s. Even with 20w radios if we can see it we can hit it out over 100miles simplex in the clear and we get all the available weather stations and murs comes in RX perfect as well.

someone do my home work for me NOW. I have the world at my fingertips tips. I can find anything in the world. Anything in history. I can find singing cats doing the cha cha on mars singing in a lost 10,000 year old language. BUT I can’t find some random radio that is so junky no one even sells it. THATS the radio I want to use in my “portable home base” what ever that is. And I want to run it at 2xs legal watts. Geesh oh I’ll help…… ever heard of eBay? It’s this new thing I found that no one has ever heard of. Geesh. one could just buy 2 regular radios and set one up at home and have one portable. Not that I really get the portability thing anyway. A good radio in The car/truck is much better then lugging a bunch of weight around.

You just got a bad box. They may have fallen out ect… comet sent me replacements for my 712efc, 6nc and 9nc for free when I moved I lost the box I had them stored In.

That’s the same reasons why cell phones are not enough on land.

Maybe the woxoun can’t drive an external speaker very well but with a the $125 tyt radios we use in all our trucks the used Motorolas speakers are very very loud. I can hear them on a dirt road in a 35yr old diesel truck with the windows open and a 10,000lb horse trailer in tow. I can hear my base station with a Motorola speaker in any room in the house. sorry to here about the kg-1000. Btw

So that’s not “high gain” in any ones world. And you really need to do some research’s BEFORE you put this up. You may have local ordinances regarding grounding and how they want it done. You may have home owners insurance issues. This is the type of thing that can burn your house down. Love the safety straps/harness and proper boots for climbing as well.

That’s not very green. And I’m sure the Prius is now over weight.

Yea that’s a ground plane antenna. Not going to RX or t nearly as good as it could if it had a ground plane.

If you’re gonna be purchasing radios or anything in life, it’s a good idea to learn how to do your own research into things. I quick internet search would have answered the question and you would have felt good doing something for your self. Instead you had to be spoon fed by mother goose. In the time it took to post your post you could have had the answer all my your self.

What about simplex from base units with higher power and good antennas. You can set up a great base unit for less then $250. You can always relay. I think with repeaters we have gotten away from the needed skill of relaying information.

How is it sad that some one that spent possibly 1000s of dollars does not want every tom dic and harry all over his repeater? He is responsible for all transmissions from his repeater. He is responsible for up keep of his repeater. I think it’s sad that if you want emergency comms you don’t do something about it and you want to ride other people’s coat tails. You are I wasn’t what you have centric. Pretty sad actually.
