Baofeng gm15pro shows long antenna included, but not shipped?
OffRoaderX replied to a topic in Guest Forum
Of course I am correct! How dare you have the insolence to think otherwise! .. But..Yah.. -
Do repeaters have to be part 95 accepted
OffRoaderX replied to Elkhunter521's question in Technical Discussion
This is correct - although Retevis has had one for 3 or 4 years, but before that, there were none - Yet with thousands of non part 95 approved repeaters out there, nobody is in jail. -

OffRoaderX replied to a topic in Guest Forum
This is an incorrect statement and @TerriKennedy should be ashamed for saying something so ridiculous when he obviously has no idea what he is talking about: there is no such thing as a "standard Baofeng box" - i have, or have had, nearly every radio manufactured by Baofeng (dozens), and they have a very wide variety of boxes. Some of them plenty large enough to fit a 15" antenna in diagonally SEVERAL of those radios (and radios from other brands) have shipped with 15" antennas and they all very easily fit inside the smaller boxes, as @WRTC928 stated. -

OffRoaderX replied to Elkhunter521's question in Technical Discussion
There are a LOT of words in this thread but I would like to point out that the FCC has never..not once, not ever, gone after anyone for simply using a non Part 95 certified repeater on GMRS... Never.... -
Chirp - Question (Newbie to programming)
OffRoaderX replied to WSEZ969's topic in General Discussion
KINDA .. IF all the radios are compatible with the feature and IF all the radios are correctly configured, you can use the Group Call (also has other names depending on the manufacture) feature to talk to only certain radios in your group. HOWEVER - Radios not configured to do this and radios not compatible will ALL HEAR everything you say — Basically it is a fancy squelch or call-tone limiting only what the radios configured for your groups can hear (they can only hear their group), but all other radios can still hear everything. -

New to GMRS world looking for advise buying first radio
OffRoaderX replied to WSCC962's topic in General Discussion
Oh, my! That sounds serious! Can you tell us more about what will happen if he (or anyone) makes a pest of themself? -
Its easiest to start with the pre-programmed channels so you can see what they look like in CHIRP.. Once you figure that out you can then create your own new, custom channels. Re Tone or TSql, i believe @SteveShannon already answered that question in your other post, and because he is an officially-recognized HERD, you should listen to what he says.

How many fars on the Maljamar, NM repeater?
OffRoaderX replied to WSFE293's question in Technical Discussion
You spelt farz wrong. -
IIRC something like this will occur if you are using the 935G software instead of the software specifically for the 935G PLUS radio.. are you sure you are using the Plus version of the software and not the regular 935G software? You can download it here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/downloads/dl/file/id/1572/product/5920/wouxun_kg_935g_plus_programming_software.zip If you are already using the correct software then my only other response is "this sounds like a Windows issue".

Your loyalty will be remembered and rewarded when the day comes...
-
I stand corrected and you are correct - I just realized the same thing with my KG-905G PLUS radio.. It seems there is some leeway in interpreting the FCCs rules on radios that do not have a full keypad.
-
You watched the wrong Youtube videos if you are only seeing stuff that is 2 or 3 years old. The high-end, QUALITY YouTubers review all new GMRS radios as soon as they are available .. ...just sayin...
-
Try 100 feet and report back.
-
I asked this question twice on your other post and still have not received a response, so i'll ask more slowly this time: How ... farrrr.. aparttttt.. areeee.. theee... twooooo radiosssss ..whennnnn youuu are testinggggg themmm?
-
Yes, but the rules, personalities, social-abilities, and cultures of the users are vastly different between services..
-
How far apart are the radios when you are testing?
-
You can't (should not be able to) transmit in "frequency mode" on either of those radios, so forget that idea* Try removing the receive/RX tones/codes from both radios Get the radios at least 50 feet apart when testing Report back with your results *IF the radio has a full, numbered-keypad.

Sir, this is a GMRS forum. GMRS people and normal people don't know what a QSL is.
-
Because the reality of everyone being able to very quickly look-up where they live will hit them. and.. Because they would likely realize that anyone obsessive enough to look up their callsign, find their address, and write a letter for something so un-necessary is clearly a very socially unbalanced and possibly mentally-ill person.. that now knows where they sleep...

Jeezus... Stop trying to over-complicate everything and use the damn fuses that came with it.
-
That's only 3 paragraphs! Dont worry, the 10 paragraph answer will come.
-
Short answer: NO Someone will come along shortly with the 10-paragraph longer answer but it will say basically the same thing.
