    Because instead of being a pillar of the community and putting up a repeater, they go online and complain about there not being enough repeaters for them to use.
  2. OffRoaderX
    If you want the repeater to remain more stealthy, no kerchunk makes it sound like people chatting on simplex..
  3. OffRoaderX
    There is a setting for the kerchunk.. "STE" i think? I would double check for you but both of mine are boxed back up and ready to be given away to lucky viewers.

    I have no idea why it's not keying up, but I do know that you can change it to WideBand by setting the clock on your computer to any date before 2002 (or similar date), i forget the exact date, i always just set mine to 2000, and then upload your settings to the repeater.

    upon reflection - it probably is common because the FCC website is such a dumpster-fire that a lot of people may create an FRN for a license then are never able to log back in/recover it for an additional license, so they end up having to create a new FRN... This happened to me..
  6. OffRoaderX
    Probably not, and it is not necessary.
  7. OffRoaderX
    There aren't really any good ones out there.

    1) Are you in GMRS mode? 2) How did you set the offset? 3) Does it do this right after you do the factory reset and you try to transmit on channel 26, before you've touched any settings?

    I have had a few radios that did this with DTCS tones.. Switched to CTCSS and the problem went away on all of them.

    I would check/confirm but mine is all boxed up and ready to give away to someone on Youtube. You should email the BTech Support with your questions - they are very good and very fast/responsive.

    I just randomly came across this review of the RT97L that was published on Youtube about 3 minutes after you made this post:

    IIRC, there is a "none" option in the CTCSS/DTS drop down list.

    You are 100% correct that they are not only our representatives, but they are also there to serve us.. But It's cute that you think this would actually accomplish anything because they all seem to have forgotten about that part of the job.
  14. OffRoaderX
    Yes, just click on the map option and zoom in to where you are.

    You thought wrong. The only requirement regarding language is that your callsign be announced in English, and even if there was a requirement that you use only English on repeaters, it wouldn't matter because the FCC does not enforce the rules (ie; they dont care). Welcome to the exciting and dynamic world of GMRS in the L.A. area!

    at least part of the problem is that to run on a Silicon Mac, you have to use Windows 11 for ARM.. and there was a big change in the driver arkatekture for Windows 11, and even more issues because its the ARM version.. it is a common (and as yet unsolved) issue for many radios/cables.

    Not easily overlooked with Parallels! Parallels pops up and asks if you want to allow it every time you plug in a device.
  18. OffRoaderX
    It was about 2 years ago.. I'm sure it works well, but the install was a kludge..
  19. OffRoaderX
    I did, right before trying Parallels.. VMWare was so difficult and convoluted to get installed i was never able to get it running. - By comparison Parallels required one or two mouseclicks and it did everything, including downloading and installing Windows after it installed itself. It is literally so simple, grandma could do it.
  20. OffRoaderX
    I believe Parallels has a 30-day free trial.
  21. OffRoaderX
    If you have an older Intel Mac, BootCamp might do the job for you. If you have a Silicon Mac then Parallels will be your only option - the CPS will probably run just fine but there is a high-chance that you wont be able to connect & send program to the radio.

    I was going to mention this but I was afraid that too many heads would explode.
  23. OffRoaderX
    I have no Kenwoods, but I have several other brands, including Motorola LMR radios - many with, and many without full keypads.. I dont know nothin 'bout no "utilizing any full keypad features in the furthance of GMRS" - but a full keypad makes it easier to program/configure everything, GMRS or not.
  24. OffRoaderX
    I'm rich!
  25. OffRoaderX
    Yes
