When a radio-dork says "CW", 99.9999999999999998% of the time, he is talking about, referring to, or eluding to Morse-Code... Do you even have a license bro?

If they understand how radios work and want a handheld, then this is probably true.. You can get 10X - 100x or more farz with an FRS radio than you can with an FM CB handheld with the same-size antenna..

That ^ is the correct answer.

They will learn the value of using radios after the tracking-data from their phones are used during their trails to prove they were at the scene of their crime.

A friend of mine tried using his KG-1000G plugged into the lighter-hole in his car and the plug melted and caught on fire.. Not sure why a fuse didnt blow first... Melted plastic napalm got on his had and gave him a severe burn when he yanked-it out in a panic, but the radio was fine...

Probably not.. is it still under warranty?

I met her in 1971 and she gave me a dehydrated lizard. (yes, seriously.. they were selling trinkets like dried snakes, lizards, scorpions, etc..)

For the last 8 years we have lead 1 or 2 groups per year (20-40 Jeeps each group), up Goler Gulch, through Mormon Flat, up to Schmit Tunnel, over to Holland Camp, the Cleanser Mines, then out Last Chance Canyon. For this year's event I am thinking about getting an Air Raid Siren..

You are correct sir.. We try to get up to Garlock/Last Chance Canyon 1 or 2 times a year but we've only been in that area you specified once, 7 or 8 years ago, after checking out The Pinnacles.

You spelled SUPERStar wrong..

i too would like to know.. if not the exact spot, at least a more generalized location - i'm curious if its one of the areas we ever go to.

Duh! Obviously would be because its haunted!

Because that might lead to jealousy, anger, rage or violence ....

I know/am familiar with a lot of the Jeep groups around here and sadly many of them are just very pretty mall-crawlers and grocery getters with fresh wax-jobs and tire-sidewalls still wet from all the ArmorAll, that only go "off road" on flat dirt roads one or two times a year. We dont associate with those kinds.

Its confusing!

It is very extremely manly!

I only use CHIRP if i am adding a BUNCH of stuff, or i need to do something that can't be done directly on the radio because 1) i like to do it the manly way and 2) things like Tone and TSquelch are confusing.. You can put your radio on the correct Repeater-Channel, hit the menu button, select the CTCSS or DCT/DPL/DCS tone and save it, all faster than it takes your computer to boot up. It should literally take no more than 15-20 seconds to program a repeater on a GMRS radio.. 30 seconds if you are fancy and add the optional RX tone.

Jeepers are weird.

All GMRS repeaters have a +5 offset from the receive frequency. So if the RX frequency is 462.575, the transmit (TX) will be 467.575. (the receive frequency always starts with 462, the transmit frequency always starts with 467) BUT - if you are using a GMRS radio, you dont need to worry about, or even think about that. Just find the correct pre-programmed "Repeater Channel" on the radio and enter the TRANSMIT (TX) tone.. You dont need the Receive (RX) tone for now because it is optional and it is only going to confuse you more. Save that for when you know what you're doing. If you are trying to do this on a non-GMRS radio, aka a H.A.M.s radios, then you bought the wrong radio.

Somewhere on Youtube there is a video of some weird guy submerging a UV-5R in the toilet, freezing it and running it over with his very-manly Jeep... The screen cracked when the extremely-manly Jeep ran it over, but the radio still worked just fine.

It is not available for GMRS..

I looked it up but I am still confused.

Am I the only one thinking it's weird/irrational that the OP expects warranty support from a vender when the product is no longer under warranty and will angrily boycott that vender when denied free out-of-warranty support? or, maybe i'm just missing something?

Ok, let us know what those other options are for getting a new KG-1000G or KG-935G.. or 805G ....

Radio-Dork term for Morse-Code.
