That is fine and better than i get on the 110W radio i use in my Jeep so I doubt this has anything to do with your issue.

Yes - my thought is that within a few weeks this thread will be 10 pages long with nothing more than a bunch of verbal-masturbation and social-defects trying to prove to everyone how smart they think they are.. and, nothing will come of it.. then, a few months later someone will come and ask the same thing again and it will start all over again.

Have you checked the SWR? A high SWR can cause more heat which may result in a thermal-shutdown (no transmitting).

Thats dumb.. Just use your cellphone!

Yes.. That's what deSense does.. The reason you hear the beep is because that happens AFTER you let go of the push-to-talk trigger, so the radio is no longer desensed.. Get the radios at least 25 feet apart and try again.

How dare you sir, HOW DARE YOU!! Those guys are on the frontlines every day and are saving lives!!! (yah, an actual quote from a Certified Ham Radio Operator) ....

it was an interesting day.

You spelled 'retard' wrong.

EDIT: UPON REFLECTION I DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO JUST REMAIN QUIET.

Now that I think about it, i think its about time i invite my neighbor back over and pay her $200 to wash mine again:

Welcome to the forum! GMRS is for talking with your friends while off-roading, hiking, etc. in a very easy, UNcomplicated way H.A.M. is for chatting with anonymous men in the most complicated way possible while trying to show everyone how smart you think you are at the same time Never confuse the two and you will do just fine.

Right.. So instead, recommend something far more complicated than what is required or wanted.. Many regular people prefer a simple to use radio - particularly when it is for business comms because the people that will actually be using the radios are not radio-dorks that get turned-on by more buttons and options. The OP even specified that he did not need/want anything with a keypad.

Is that exactly what he said? He simply "does not like their stories"? (I read that as "shows"/storylines) or was there maybe something more to what he actually meant, in context?

You can! That's why I choose it over the S50 which i was "this close" to buying.. the S30 also has a tracking-feature for tracking non-celestial objects like cars, planes, people which could be fun to use improperly.

You guys talked me into it.. I just ordered a Seestar S30...

You dont have to worry about "in or out" on a GMRS radio .. just look at the last 3 digits after the period, in this case 675 to determine what channel to use Yes - but OUT (RX) is optional and only blanks-out any other people on the channel that aren't using the repeater so you dont have to hear them It will be "RPT20" or, channel 28

There is a little white dot next to D23, it looks like its on/correct.

The repeater has a feature where it will go into "F-Off" mode when someone keeps keying it up..over and over.. without saying anything.. not sure that was you.. but.. it went into that mode earlier, but its back to normal now so give it a try (just say something when you test it)..

Dude.. just... duude... Either you are one of the worlds greatest trolls, approaching even my troll-status, OR you are seriously broken inside and should seek help and medication.

Get your two radios at least 100 feet apart, then test again for your voice On a GMRS radio you cannot program a repeater on channel 17 - on a GMRS radio channel 17 is Simplex only channel. Repeater/channel power outputs have nothing at all to do with FRS You are very confused. My guess is you are doing something wrong (see last item on the list above) - but Channel 25 should be able to transmit at HIGH power - are you saying the radio is set/showing HIGH power, but only a low-power amount of RF-Electricies are coming out when you measure it, or, does the radio indicate that it is set to LOW power?

You are only allowed to ask once.. Please refer to your other post HERE ...

That channel should be able to transmit at High power - are you sure you went into the menus whilst on that channel, set it to HIGH, and SAVED the change? Also - not transmitting your voice would have nothing to do with being on High or Low power... How are you testing to determine that your voice is not going through?

I'm no expert either (hence, my question) but that looks more like JUST a camera that you attach to a big telescope.. I'm asking about the small tabletop digital/smart type telescopes like the Seestar S50 ..

Nope.. I said channel 19 is the official "road"/travel channel - for talking with everyone else in your group whilst on the road & traveling.. Very different from the OP who apparently wants to just listen in to anonymous men chatting - we have no idea how far from the highway he is.

For you telescope experts, what is your opinion of the new digital "Smart" type imaging telescopes?
