Just for more infos: I live in an all Mac household and avoided doing this for years because I didnt want all the hassle. I was finally forced into trying it and installing/setting up Parallels was VERY easy - virtually automatic, and it works great. The worst part is paying for it but it really is worth it for running the manufacturers Windows-only programs.

What did I miss??!! I refuse to disregard until i know!

I dunno.. Never seen/heard that error before. i would try a factory reset. if that doesn't fix it, unless someone else has any better ideas, you might have to call the Radiooddity man.

Yes, ASAP!!!1 Because if you ever accidentally transmit on one of those channels with that radio you will get a $10,000 fine. Its your choice, but are you willing to take that risk? SOURCE: "some people" on this forum

Ya think?! Are you certain that you are selecting the correct radio-model before trying to read from it?

I know.

OK THANK YOU I AM SURE I WILL HAVE FUN ON THIS FORUM THANK YOU1

Post your data here, and i am sure someone will be happy to come along and help.

There are literally only two possibilities: A: You have the only KG-1000G Plus ever, in the history of Wouxun to somehow, inexplicably do this thing that no other Wouxun and probably no other radio from any brand, has ever done in the past OR 3: You are very, very confused, and, you are doing it wrong. At this point i would suggest doing a full factory-reset to undo whatever atrocities you have inflicted upon that radio, find a different repeater, and start over.

It sounds like you are connecting to a repeater. If not, then, you're doing it wrong.

maybe if we knew what the problem was, or if you left any hint about what you are having trouble with, someone would actually be able to help.. But, I guess we'll never know..

Don't be mean, and if you are insinuating that the ghost antenna functions as an antenna the same as a dummy-load, you would be very, very wrong.

Bigger and higher/above any (metal) obstructions will always be optimal... But unless you are trying to bounce your signal off the moon - ie; you are just talking with your friends on the road and/or using repeaters within 5, 10, 20 miles or so, I would question whether swapping out the antenna and having to fold it up/down all the time would be worth the money or the hassle. TL;dr: If you are some kind of radio dork that obsessively requires every tiny maximum bit of performance, whether or not you'll ever notice, and at any expense, then get the bigger antenna. If however you are a normal person that just needs to talk with your group while traveling, then your Ghost antenna is just fine.

NO! i = INVERTED, N = NORMAL By default, unless otherwise specified, a DCS/DTC/DPL tone is always NORMAL (N) .

Ahh yes.. Now I remember. I had a couple of H8s but gave them away. So then, to set up your repeater, whilst in GMRS mode, choose the correct Repeater Channel, which I believe for 462.600 will be Channel #25, go into the menus and find the TX/Transmit Tone option (you may have to resort to the user-manual), and select your DPL116 from the list - (it might be listed as DTC), save it, and you're done! You can (and should) ignore the OUTPUT (aka RX) tone for now, as that is only for confusing the n00bs..

The H8 is a H.A.M. radio - will that thing even transmit on GMRS frequencies?

THIS A.I. would! -> A.I. NotARubicon

yes, i have an idea: You're doing it wrong. Are you on the correct repeater-channel, and did you add the necessary tone to access that specific repeater? (my guess is two no's..)

Yeeap... Hackin radios is risky bidness!

I gave-away my DB-25G a long time ago, but when you do a factory-reset, does that not return it to the factory original image?

Everyone should be forced to watch this:

In my GMRS group it serves a very important purpose and is very necessary. If that makes you sad, you are free to go listen to a different channel while we are all transmitting our MDC-squawks.

You buy a ham or LMR radio instead of a GMRS radio, use the "talk around" feature, or transmit on the shared simplex channel.

First of off: I dont know what "to wit" means.. Second of all: forget about the RX/Downlink tones. The Uplink will be the Transmit/TX tone that you will need - it will either be CTCSS or DTC/DPL - since there is no crossover between the numbers, 233.6 can only be one or the other (i would use Google to look it up for you.. but, i dont want to), so just go through the list for CTCSS and if you dont see 233.6, then it must be a DTC/DPL tone and it will be in that list on the radio.

Yes, try to get more farz apart. If that fails, try removing the RX tones on both radios.
