So tone is TX. And tone Squelch is TX and RX? -
Won't anyone listening on that frequency with no tone set, hear ?
-
Ok, that's what I thought. I misunderstood. Thank you.
-
Interesting. I did not know that. So if I program my HT's with T-sql, anyone on that frequency must have that same t-sql set or they won't hear us?
-
What I saw was someone asking for help, then getting irate and cocky with those trying to help. And for a change it was actually enjoyable to see SoCal go off on someone.

This is why it's good to have Socal around. Eventually he get's a NOOB that deserves it.
-
Thank you. That is the best answer I've seen so far. Not that I didn't enjoy any of the other's... . I knew I came to the right place.

Here is what I assume is a no brainer question for some. Given all things the same as far as terrain, radio, wattage, etc... Which would have more range in simplex, specifically HT comms, amateur bands or GMRS? The google machine is not giving me clear answers, plus I like bugging you fine people with my curiosities.

Nothing better in life than a good woman at your side. I had to go through quite a few bad ones to finally find mine. I can't believe I actually thought I knew what love was before her.

Katie and I share an interest in 2 way radios. She was EMS and came into our relationship carrying a fancy Bendix King. We have cute code names for each other and use our radios every day. It's enough to make normal people sick.

I have a request that has been sitting for months. It's still there even after the owner removed the repeater from the listings. LOL
-
Maybe some people don't like the UT-72 because it's not tuned for GMRS like the UT-72G. I use the UT-72G because it was cheap and it works better than an antenna inside my vehicle.
-
I second that.

If you give it a try, let me know what you think.

It's the first result I get when I search "BF888s". His post is like 2 years old.
-
I did a search in the forum on this radio before making my post, and I saw a post of some guy's picture of the insides of an 888 all wired up to what looked like a raspberry Pi . It was his only post and nobody responded to it. Not sure if I can link it to this thread.

While I don't have a Woxoun, the one Mildland I do have does kinda suck. I got it for free so not too big a deal. It just sits on a shelf with the rest of my collection. It could be that it's just old and has been abused. Not sure. Most of my radios are Motorola. But my Baofengs are my go to's. BF-888s for GMRS, and AR-5rm for everything. LOL

He actually left a nice comment this time.

This is my opinion. The BF-888s by Baofeng makes for a handy GMRS HT. Paired with a Nagoya NA-701G antenna, I have found RX and TX to be quite clear. It's 16 channels can be programmed via CHIRP. It has 5 watts of power, so I set up 15 of its channels to GMRS 1-7 and 15-22. The 16th channel can be set up to whatever you like or left blank. When scanning is enabled through CHIRP, channel 16 becomes your scanner. The radio is super lightweight, which I find ideal for carrying on my belt. It's very inexpensive. The last 2 pack with charging docks that I purchased was $19.99. So, accidents are not very heartbreaking. In fact, the Nagoya 701g antenna is only a dollar cheaper than the 2 pack of these radios. Are there better radios out there? Absolutely. Is this radio part 95? Absolutely not. But with the proper programming, one can stay within all the other "rules". There are no fancy screens and buttons. Just a knob for volume, and a knob to select channel. The voice prompt lets you know what channel you're on. This is an ideal option for helping family members that are not tech savvy get into GMRS with very little to confuse them. I just wanted to give my personal review of what I think is a great little budget HT. It has become my everyday carry for home and work. May the haters now commence their hate speeches.

That's a good deal. But I already have a couple. Thanks for the offer.
-
Yeah... I have a new Mac. I guess I can give it a try. Or just use my windows machine. I was mostly interested in knowing what the factory 99 frequencies are. All my searching so far only tells me what the factory settings are and the frequencies set to channels 1 - 4.

I've been trying to find software that I can use to program my Motorola RMU2040 with my Mac. It seems that the CPS from Motorola's website is not compatible. Am I wrong? Does anyone have suggestions?
-
I know. But I really want the stickers in case the FCC Men in Black beat down my door.
