Yes, several.

There are technical differences, but I have never observed any actual, real-world difference - in the real-world, they both do the job just fine. also, FYI, I have owned/used virtually every GMRS radio manufactured since ~2017 and I do not recall ever seeing one that does not support DPL/DTC/DCS tones. Not saying those radios do not exist, but if they do, they are very old, very rare, or, both.

i just made a video about Scientology so obviously i don't care about my reputation, but I dont want another one of those electronic abortions of a repeater.

I don't think so. For the monies, I would expect much higher build-quality (ie; no wobbly knobs), MUCH better software, and far more features like channels, more customization, etc. Not enough bangs for the bucks.

Based on the FCC's past/current enforcement record against GMRS violators, what would you guess the FCC will decide to do?

In order to get FCC Part 95 type acceptance, all GMRS radios do that. It's not 'weird', it's how it is supposed to be.

That's just because you want me to respond to all the DMs that you keep sending me there, but I already told you, i'm not interested.

What about when I said your beard was sexy?!

Let me make this simple enough, that even you will understand it: YES - There are those that regular people refer to as "sad hams" .. this is fact, it cannot be disputed. If this fact makes you sad, and/or if you do not understand the difference between a 'sad ham', and a regular, helpful, normal-ham, then YOU ARE A SAD HAM, and YOU are who all of us normal people make fun of. and if that makes you even more sad, then, good, you deserve it. (and yes, even if you dont have a H.A.M. radio license, you can still have all the personality defects making you a latent sad-H.A.M.) As for these facts spreading out in other venues: thank you for noticing! Please continue to spread the word! If you are referring to something else, then please clarify, because as everyone knows, I love to answer stupid questions.

I have never made that claim.

I think I made my argument pretty clear in my comment, so please re-read it, but this time, try to pay attention. If, after re-reading, you are still confused, just ask a grown-up to explain it to you using simple-words you can understand.

Its not 'propaganda' when it's true If what you propose is correct, it validates item #1

There is no way to know, because irregardlessly of what one particular untrustworthy pathological mythomaniac keeps telling us stories about, the FCC does not publish information on complaints. I could imagine that in some areas there are complaints, but whether its 1 complaint or 10,000 complaints, it does not matter as the FCCs public record on enforcement shows that, up until now at least, they execute near-zero GMRS related enforcement actions.

It appears that you your self-professed autism has progressed into retardation. But thank you, for once again, demonstrating to everyone-here, multiple times, that nothing you say is to be believed or taken seriously.

I dont think he's been spreading it as long as you have been spreading yours. You have been challenged REPEATEDLY to provide a source for your claims, and 100% of the time, you have provided nothing more than name calling in response. HOWEVER- I would guess that complaints have actually been filed - Filing a complaint with the FCCs is simple and i would also GUESS that they receive hundreds, if not thousands of complaints for various things every day. What matters is how many complaints [related to GMRS] does the FCCs ACT ON... and, based on the FCCs public enforcement database that anyone can search through, the answer is, virtually 0 ..

almost certainly a cable/driver/Windows issue. same cable?

Double check that you are using the correct TX tone.. Double check that you looked up the tone correctly in the Mildand code-table, and double check that you entered it correctly, double check that you saved it correctly and double-check that you saved it to the correct REPEATER channel. If you still are not able to hit the repeater, drive closer.. if you are still not able to hit the repeater, then either you have the tone wrong, you entered it wrong, you're on the wrong channel, the repeater is down, your antenna is broken, or your radio is defective... ...and i doubt the repeater is down or the radio is defective.

Are you certain the tone is correct? and if you are certain, HOW are you certain?

When you let go of the transmit button, do you hear a static-blip/return from the repeater?

Sounds exactly like something an elitist H.A.M. would say...

A "pending case" is not an "enforcement", and for all intensive-purposes, is meaningless.

Yah, it's an elite group...

Can you name those parts of the country, and specify who decided it "was" a problem and spiraling out of control?

As it should be! This is why I always push to buy things on Amazon - they make it VERY easy to return items for ANY reason.. Try that buying something direct from Chyna!

Your fars are limited more by the antenna and location than your RF-electricities, and the coverage radius is an estimate based on whatever the repeater-owner decided to enter, and it may not be based in reality at all.. Whether or not you can connect to/use the repeater depends on what is between you and the repeater.. if its up high on a mountain, with no other mountains in between you and it, then 20-miles is no problem.. If there are mountains, a forest, or miles of houses full of..gravitationally-enhanced people between you and the repeater, then you may not be able to reach it... The only way to know, is to try it.
