  1. I have been assured by "some people" that this is a lie, this never happens, and it is impossible - and if you spread these vicious lies you are a racist or a nazi, or "too dumb to pass the test"..
  2. The Amazon man just delivered my BTech GMRS 50Pro - ask your questions now/post your concerns! I will be uploading a video about it in the next day or two and looking for feedback/questions, even from "some people".
  3. He is incapable of actually being helpful. He prefers to make himself look like a rhee-tard every chance he gets. This is the recommended fix:
  4. if you are on a high floor and/or if you are on a hill/above a valley, etc, then all you need is a mobile/car antenna on a cookie-sheet in the window.. I am able to get ~20 miles of farz this way with my repeater. Your farz may vary.
  5. There is also an old saying about government over-reach being out of control, and free men dont ask for permission, especially when doing nothing wrong.
  6. Everyone has realized out that the FCC STILL does not care.
  7. I am not aware of any freeways with sidewalks and traffic signals. But it has us all talking about it so mission accomplished!
  8. So I have a question. Why haven't you put one up?
  9. Because instead of being a pillar of the community and putting up a repeater, they go online and complain about there not being enough repeaters for them to use.
  10. If you want the repeater to remain more stealthy, no kerchunk makes it sound like people chatting on simplex..
  11. There is a setting for the kerchunk.. "STE" i think? I would double check for you but both of mine are boxed back up and ready to be given away to lucky viewers.
  12. I have no idea why it's not keying up, but I do know that you can change it to WideBand by setting the clock on your computer to any date before 2002 (or similar date), i forget the exact date, i always just set mine to 2000, and then upload your settings to the repeater.
  13. upon reflection - it probably is common because the FCC website is such a dumpster-fire that a lot of people may create an FRN for a license then are never able to log back in/recover it for an additional license, so they end up having to create a new FRN... This happened to me..
  14. Probably not, and it is not necessary.
  15. There aren't really any good ones out there.
  16. 1) Are you in GMRS mode? 2) How did you set the offset? 3) Does it do this right after you do the factory reset and you try to transmit on channel 26, before you've touched any settings?
  17. I have had a few radios that did this with DTCS tones.. Switched to CTCSS and the problem went away on all of them.
  18. I would check/confirm but mine is all boxed up and ready to give away to someone on Youtube. You should email the BTech Support with your questions - they are very good and very fast/responsive.
  19. I just randomly came across this review of the RT97L that was published on Youtube about 3 minutes after you made this post:
  20. IIRC, there is a "none" option in the CTCSS/DTS drop down list.
  21. You are 100% correct that they are not only our representatives, but they are also there to serve us.. But It's cute that you think this would actually accomplish anything because they all seem to have forgotten about that part of the job.
  22. Yes, just click on the map option and zoom in to where you are.
  23. You thought wrong. The only requirement regarding language is that your callsign be announced in English, and even if there was a requirement that you use only English on repeaters, it wouldn't matter because the FCC does not enforce the rules (ie; they dont care). Welcome to the exciting and dynamic world of GMRS in the L.A. area!
  24. at least part of the problem is that to run on a Silicon Mac, you have to use Windows 11 for ARM.. and there was a big change in the driver arkatekture for Windows 11, and even more issues because its the ARM version.. it is a common (and as yet unsolved) issue for many radios/cables.
