  1. His stupidity and the stupid shit he says far outweighs the tiny nuggets of correctness that he randomly shits out.. and he has never said anything that 100 others here in the forum could not also tell you. ...just sayin...
  2. You can still see what that guys posts? Man, you gotta jump on the "block that moron" train!
  3. I hope you're feeling better now. What you are describing is not an intended behavior, and it looks like you have done everything correctly. I do believe that only BuyTwoWayRadios Support can help you - and if its some kind of firmware issue baked into the radio they may not have a fix - but they can probably recommend a workaround like manually programming the channel without the Wizard and/or using the software to program the channel (if you haven't tried that already).
  4. Because all they have to do is one enforcement/fine like this once every few years and all the sad-hams will go all over the internet posting things like "For those that don’t think the FCC will enforce anything" ... Often followed up by things like "you're next!!" or.. "its not worth the risk!!!1" ... When in reality, statistically speaking, there is no risk.
  5. You'll get nowhere with that attitude mister.
  6. What did BuyTwoWayRadios Support say about this when you contacted them?
  7. Not to mention that a H.A.M.s radios that has been unlocked to transmit on GMRS does not make it a "GMRS radio" .. You will have to do everything - ALL the programming, EVERYTHING manually, yourself.. For many people this is no big deal.. For many others, it is a dealbreaker.. With a real "GMRS Radio", you take it out of the box, turn it on, pick a channel and talk.. not so with a H.A.M.s radios that is made to transmit on GMRS frequencies..
  8. This enforcement has been going on for years - and my prediction is that he never pays a dime.. Just look up this guy's PREVIOUS fine of $14,000 issued by the FCC in 1999.. Which he has still not paid... BUT - you ARE correct.. that is ONE fine.. out of millions of violations every year... You literally have a greater chance of being hit by lighting .. but, it COULD happen... So.. act accordingly...
  9. The only GMRS radio with a removable face that comes to mind is the KG-1000G+ ... I have had several (one in each Jeep, one in the office.. 2 turned into a repeater).. and have many (manyy) friends with them, and they are all happy with it. The only thing I dont like is that the faceplate is really hard to get off because the connector/latch is so tight.. I guess that's a good thing, and if you just mount it and forget it, it's a non-issue.. But if you put in on/take it off every day, it's a thumbnail killer.
  10. Keep this rule in mind: Users who continue to post inflammatory, abusive comments will be banned from the forum after two warnings are issued by moderators. It might make the forum safer if some of us UNblock anyone that might break this rule, and then report them every time they do.
  11. @SteveShannon a followup post demonstrating how to report someone's post any time they violate these rules would not go unnoticed.
  12. Hmmmm... It would be a shame if everyone reported certain user's that do this every day.. multiple times...
  13. If he does, nobody will ever know!
  14. and a fine job at that! Well written, nice illustrations.. i laughed.. i cried.. I learned... Anyone interested in seeing Sir Steven Shannon's excelled work can see it here: (clicky ^^ there)
  15. *Shakes fist in the air
  16. You should make a step-by-step How-To for blocking/ignoring someone.. with screenshots and arrows and everything.. That way we can all link to it whenever necessary. In the screenshots be sure to use an appropriate user as the example.
  17. if we're being honest.. I've done that more than once.. But it was with little kids goofing on their radios so it's ok!
  18. What you did wrong was believing some clown on a GMRS radio that was claiming to be the local police.. TL;dr .. he lied to you..
  19. He did that already, a while back - he had his account deleted and asked the forum owner to delete all of his posts - my guess is because his callsign was showing and he realized that he was embarrassed to have people find out about who/what he really is.. where he works (if he even has a job).. where he lives (or where his parents house is, with him in the basement).. I think Sir Steven Shannon, H.E.R.D., et al, got it right.. the only attention he gets in life is here when he acts like an idiot, so the best thing to do is ignore him and stop talking about him (startinggggg... NOW)..
  20. is that assclown even still here? I blocked him a month or so ago and this has been a much better place ever since... I highly recommend that everyone also hover their mouse over the his user-photo/avatar and click the IGNORE button.. and remember to recommend this action to everyone else when appropriate... Meaning each time he posts one of his socially rheet-harded posts.
  21. Sorry to be "that guy", but you spelled "FARz" wrong..
  22. Can confirm.. the petroleum based brands taste horrible.. But KY does not have much taste at all and it's much easier to wash out of your hair than the petroleum kinds.
