Beer is a helluva drug.

Yes: My suggestion is to write a coherent question, or at least gives us more hints on what the issue is.
-
Generally speaking, on average, usually, most of the time, when someone can't hit a repeater, it's YOUR problem, not the repeater's problem. and if it IS the repeater's problem, my guess/prediction is that the owner/operator is already well aware. I am also going to predict that posting your request here is not going to get you any response from the owner/operator. But, that's just a guess.

If the firmware is different you wont be able (may not be able) to do it. No way around this that I know of.
-
Setting the hang-time to zero has no impact whatsoever, in any way, on someone trying "hack" either the input or output tone of a repeater.. Just sayin..

For the antenna, I use a Tram 1486... It was not very expensive, it does not look like a space-station antenna on the roof so it got quick spousal-approval, it has a very low wind-profile, and it was very easy to cut/tune. For the radio I use an XTL-5000 but i would not recommend it for a beginner.

I forgot all about this thread and wasn't even really paying attention from the beginning.. I just hop in, stir the pot and let everyone else figure it out. Carry on guys, you're doing great!

Please update us and let us know what he finds.

Never had this occur on either Jeep, but even though we've driven through some heavy rainstorms its mostly hot and dry here.

"N" means "Normal", "i" means Inverted.. DPL/DTC tones are, by default "normal". So unless it pacifically says "inverted" or "i", then you would always use the "N". EDIT: Glob-dang SteveShannon beat me again by 10 seconds.

Undocumented H.A.M. radio operator for over 40 years here, so nobody can question or dispute anything I say. FCC LAW 95.1705 c(2) says: Failure to follow this law or violating it in any way will result in jail-time or a $10,000 fine, so don't risk it. Instead just make her get a H.A.M. ticket and be done with it.

What? I don't understand? why so angry? How is finding men to chat with on Grindr any different from finding men to chat with on GMRS or H.A.M. radio? Please explain because I must be confused or something.
-
Yes, it will degrade performance, but the degradation will be so negligible you will never notice any difference - ASSUMING that you do it right (don't short it out or anything) and assuming you use a quality connector - ie; get the $9 one from a name you've heard of and not the $0.99 one from a name you can't pronounce.
-
Maybe you should take it back to the guy you got it from and tell him you want one that works?
-
ok, something is seriously wrong.. That's the best I can do so, I'm out.
-
attach a pic of the front panel showing the display and all the buttons/lights.
-
Is it ALSO transmitting on the correct frequency or ONLY on the wrong frequency?
-
are you sure its set to the correct channel, and in Repeater-mode?
-
Its not programmed the way you think it is.
-
The public record of the FCC proves you are telling fairy tales.. again...
-
Yah, helps you sound like a radio-dork. GMRS is for normal people speaking normal english. If you want to sound and talk like a dork get a H.A.M. radio license.

We prefer the term "Geographically-challenged rural lifestyle enthusiast". thank you for your understanding and compassion.
-
It's not an opinion. it is fact based on the FCC's public (lack of) enforcement record. What I am doing is telling people to use their own brains and try not to be brainwashed bootlickers ALL the time. But if i do decide to promote rule-breaking I'll be sure to tell you first so we can watch you cry about it. mmhkay?

I paid $500 for a used VXR-7000 in excellent/confirmed working condition.. I then had to buy a programming cable and acquire the software, buy an antenna and coax, mast, etc, and I had to pay to have the duplexer tuned.. it all came up to around $800'ish dollars of monies.

Considering that the risk is about 99.99999999999999999999999999999999998% in everyone's favor of NOT "getting caught", you'd have to be an idiot to not take that risk. and it is likely that very few "normal" people would even consider those odds a "risk" at all..
