  1. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!!1 STOP LYING!!! if you use an illegal radio the FCC will triangulate your position and WILL issue a $10,000 fine or you could face prison! Its your choice to take the risk! ...i have literally seen "licensed ham-radio operators" tell people this online, so it MUST be true.. because they have a license!
  2. If you are looking to chat with anonymous men over wide-areas/long-range, then GMRS is not the right choice.. Unless you work for the government, I am not aware of any "government networks" you can use/access (anyone please correct me if i am wrong), so H.A.M. repeater networks/HF, or the Grindr app are probably better choices.
  3. Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but you might want to watch this:
  4. There, I fixed that for you.
  5. Yes. The default is Normal.
  6. many SWR meters (for example, the SW-102) won't register anything under 1 or 2 watts.. are you sure you are SECURELY connecting it, and does it have the same fars as your other radios?
  7. Still waiting to find out what your source is for these "stacks of complaints" or what, exactly the FCCs actions of "waking up" to it are, and what that source is. Because otherwise, you're just telling fairy tales whilst everyone laughs ...
  8. That is a very incorrect interpretation of the interview and what happened. You should watch again, but try to pay attention this time.
  9. I've heard that there are good resources on Youtube, but that is probably just an internet rumor.
  10. This is why it is very important to always wear clean panties when transmitting!
  11. Oh, sorry, but some of the "experts" here have determined, and keep reminding us, that linking of GMRS repeaters is illegal, so we are no longer permitted to speak of GMRSLIVE on this website.
  12. Not to disagree with my esteemed colleague Mr. @nokones, but, i disagree.. I have led groups of up to hundreds (HUNDREDS) of Jeeps/trucks off-road, and a large majority of them use cheap/narrowband FRS radios, while many of us transmit on wideband at high power (because we can).. and never once has anyone complained about having trouble hearing/understanding what we are saying - and in tests I have done, it is usually rare for normal people (with untrained ears) to notice or hear any difference.
  13. There really isn't anything to 'not do right'.. It's either the correct antenna connected correctly, or it isn't.. So my first guess is that your antenna is a counterfeit/defective.. have you tested the antenna on another radio?
  14. OMFG, I would PAY to see how that plays out! OMG, OMG, what if EVERYBODY started to do that?!
  15. No silly! Everyone knows that an ASL image is a picture of yourself that you send to anonymous men to indicate your AGE, SEX, and LOCATION! You probably know it better as a "QSL card" ..
  16. After getting license, what should I do? -- Start talking with your friends Can I buy GMRS trancsiever? -- You always could, anyone can. Please let me know how to use my call sign?-- Press the talk button, say your callsign in plain, normal-person english, then start talking Should I say my GMRS callsign when I talk by transceiver like radio amateur? -- Give your callsign at the beginning of your transmissions or at least once every 15 minutes Please let me know the process after getting license. -- The process is: start talking to your friends on your radio
  17. If you care about following the FCCs rules, then your unlicensed friends would still need a license to use your GMRS Pro radios. But since the FCCs doesn't care, neither do most people.
  18. I've done ok.. PS: I have never owned a Kenwood radio in my life.
  19. If you pull that sadhamkrap in these parts you will get laughed off the repeater.
  20. A great feature of this software and this repeater is that to use narrow-band, you have to set your computer to a date several years prior to 2013... You're doing it right.
  21. They don't sell the ground-plate with the SW102 anymore because it doesn't do any good. With that meter (most meters) you will never get an accurate reading of an HT antenna even with the ground plate. I recommend not wasting your time and not trying to overthink it.
  22. I am running CE27 V1.08 for Windows on a Windows 10 Home (22H2) .. I have it set to run in "Windows 7" Compatibility mode and it runs fine. I am also running the same version on a M1 Silicon Mac, via Parallels running Windows 11 for ARM (64Bit), with no problems EXCEPT i can't connect/program the repeater due to driver issues with the cable and Windows 11.
