Thems rookie numbers.

If only someone would make a very simple to understand youtube video explaining this all in very simple terms that anyone could understand, while at the same time using very easy-to-understand hand-gestures.. Whoever could achieve that would literally become the queen of all that is GMRS!

It was already extremely easy.. It would be harder for me to find someone by callsign on that map that it would be to find someone by callsign on the FCC website. Your argument does not stand up to scrutiny and is therefore, invalid.

Good one! The funny part is that its like you dont realize that you put yourself on that list and all that information that you gave to the FCCs such as your home-address is tied to your GMRS callsign, and was already on Google, Facebook, and probably a lot of other places..

It depends on how you define "best" ... I connected mine via my SPOD switch system. For me this was "best" because it was much easier and the wire-runs were shorter and already established.

I agree and recommend the same to anyone having trouble with this company, (or any company).. For recurring payments via PayPal you dont even need to close the PayPal account, you can simply "end" the recurring payments.

Oh man... A lot of people are going to shart-themselves when the reality that the FCCs makes their info public and easily accessible to anyone that has their callsign starts to sink-in...

Obviously "the best" is the UV-5R because it cost only $18. as you can see, it depends on how you define "best" and what is important to you in a radio - so only you can answer the question.

But you did anyway.

For comparison you could look at one of the pre-programmed repeater channels 23-30 You could key up and if you have it wrong it wont matter/wont hurt anything On a GMRS repeater if the frequency given is 462.xx then it will always be +5 It looks like you haven't added the recieve-tone, but that is optional anyway, and for a beginner/to reduce potential mistakes i would not bother with it yet It all looks right but the only way to know for sure is to try it.. and remember, if it's not right, it doesn't matter/nothing is going to break/no airplanes will drop from the sky.

Mine came with its own little monitor that is mounted on the front-dash.. from the time I put the Jeep in Reverse, until the image shows on the screen, is about 1/2 second... and as far as I can tell there is no transmission delay - the image is 'live' with no lag.

It shouldn't.. .but, that is no guarantee.. I have one of the cheapest wifi-cameras you can buy mounted on my Jeep's 3rd brake-light/license plate bracket, and my antenna is mounted about a foot away above the passenger side brake-light (see image) - i've never suffered any interference.

Yes, it makes a difference if you are in VFO mode and going up or down in frequency. It is not relevant to transmitting on GMRS but it is relevant for receiving frequencies in VFO mode..and tuning up or down in frequency.

I heard a rumor that the biggest GMRS Youtuber has one and will be uploading a video about it in the next week or so...

If you buy from Kemp, or any reputable dealer, you tell them what you want and they will sell it to you OR, they'll tell you what they have on-hand .. if you buy from ebay, beware, its a den of thieves and liars.
