    I would also like to add that lest we not forget there is a HUGE difference between what the FCC CAN do and what the FCC actually does. Again, I reiterate, that based on the FCC's own public enforcement record of the last 10+ years, statistically speaking, they do not care what happens on CB, MURS, GMRS, or H.A.M. radio with regard to jammers, iD10Ts, and degenerates.

    Fixed that for you..

    Even then, based on the FCC's public enforcement record, the FCC will not do anything .. IF/when that occurs, get recordings of it and take it to the local police - THEY have the power and the will to actually do something. SOURCE: Public FCC records a AND this happened with one of the repeaters our group uses. Three years later, zero action from the FCC, the Sheriff was ready & willing to act.

    Nothing, short of triangulating his position by using either old-school methods or a Kraken tracker, then beating his ass in front of his family can be done. And, just for clarification, reporting him to the FCC will also result in... nothing happening,IRREGARDLESS of what "some people" will try to tell you - just look through the public FCC enforcement record and you will see that the FCC stopped caring about 12 years ago.

    Who you talkin-bout Willis?

    as the @AdmiralCochrane very eloquently said, GMRS is not for "making contacts" or chatting with anonymous men - for that, you're better off using the Grindr app on your phone. GMRS is for staying in contact with people in your group whilst off-roading, hiking, road-traveling, etc.

    Do you know if anyone was on the repeater listening? Do you know if the repeater is even online? Do you know if you are within range of the repeater (just because you can hear it does not mean it can hear you) Did you get a "kercunk"? that is all you really need to know if you are hitting the repeater.

    Maybe if you told us what part you are stuck on or what is happening.. or really, any details at all, someone can help.
  9. OffRoaderX
    Nobody is going to drive over and do it for you - you will have to invest at least a little effort. We assume you've read the user-manual and tried but you're stuck/its not working, so give us more info about what part you are getting stuck with and i'm sure we can help. AND, you should probably create a new forum post instead of dragging this one even further into the weeds.

    This is true.. if they were smart/weren't losers, they would not be jamming...
  11. OffRoaderX
    That wont really eliminate the problem, but it will postpone the problem until the jammer gets an MDC compatible radio and the associated CPS OR until he figures out how to jam the input..
  12. OffRoaderX
    How would you prevent me, as a user with a non-mdc capable radio, talking to you with your MDC enabled, prevent me from knowing its being used?
  13. OffRoaderX
    Yah, but which is more effective: Risperidone or Aripiprazole?

    Not long ago I tested a few antennas against the Midland Ghost antenna and it performed better than the Nagoya UT-72G .. and ALMOST as good as the Midland MXTA26..
  15. OffRoaderX
    I have used/tested one - it seems like a decent, low-cost radio.. Its not the best/greatest world, but for only $150, you can't go too wrong.. A friend of mine has been using one for over a year and it is honestly one of the best-sounding radios I've heard - he sounds great on his.. It has great modulation/volume but is not over-modulated and it sounds very clean and clear.
  16. OffRoaderX
    The answer is: Based on the FCC's enforcement record of the last 12 years, nothing will happen. Of course, that could change tomorrow, but as of today, thems is the facts.
  17. OffRoaderX
    That sounds serious! So.. what happens if someone isn't licensed or they offer items for sale?
  18. OffRoaderX
    Where would one find more info on that should one be curious ?
  19. OffRoaderX
    If the radio isn't transmitting at least 1 or 2 watts, the Surecom wont see it.. Either it's not transmitting, its transmitting very low power, or as @SteveShannon said, there is a problem with the connection.
  20. OffRoaderX
    I used mine all day today whilst off-roading.
  21. OffRoaderX
    Yes.. AND... Even if you accidentally hit the PTT button without the antenna connected, the radio will be fine.. AND... Even if you accidentally hold-down the PTT button for a few minutes without the antenna connected, the radio will be fine - doing this is not recommended, but contrary to what "some people" will tell you lies about, nothing will happen other than heating up the innards.
  22. OffRoaderX
    ... Nevermind...
  23. OffRoaderX
    Dont be silly! @WSAE603 - you should make a new forum topic post, asking about the best way to go about linking GMRS radios/repeaters via Asterisk - I think it would be a great discussion topic and a great way for people to learn and discuss new ideas.
  24. OffRoaderX
    If you consider how many people the FCC has gone after for "illegally" sharing a GMRS callsign, or, how many GMRS users the FCC has gone after for.. anything... You might find a little "wiggle room" .. But if you're worried about it after doing your research, you could just have the non-licensed members use FRS radios and the licensed members use GMRS radios.. That is, assuming they don't need to use a repeater.
  25. OffRoaderX
    Of course, I know-not of any of the details, but it could just be a bot/scraper gone rogue/out of control - very common and often confuckulated as an attack - with the same end result. OTOH, it could be the sad-H.A.M. cartel .... SOURCE: Have run a dozen or so of my own websites and owned a small web-hosting company for 10+ years.
