    Me and the UV5R aren't speaking at the moment.. I got busted talking to the Wouxun-radio-voice lady...

    I have that same wideband programming issue on my Vertex VXR-7000 ... Set the clock on your computer back to 1980 as @wayovertherementioned and it will let you change it.

    Just put one up, covering my entire area!

    On the website/info page for the radio, the Roger Beep is listed as a removed/restricted/unwanted feature that is not available on the radio.

    I keep my Roger Beep on - when someone complains about it, I remind them that its my radio and nobody is forcing them to listen to me.

    Thanks Rich ...My problem is that I dont know which bundle I need.. One box is a Veretex VXR-7000, the other a Motorola Radius R1225.. Tell me which options to get, and I will get them.. I can handle the config, etc. Also let me know what the support process is/how to get support - I dont know how I ended up on that other network for support.. I guess I picked the wrong week to try to stop sniffing glue.

    Thanks @rdunajewski - this is the message I got back after asking via the website what was needed to link my two repeaters: "We are sorry we no longer off help with repeaters due to we have had so many burn up. TGLN Admins http://gmrs.network So is it just that you no longer offer help/support for repeaters then? I just have to buy the setup and hope it all works?

    Just received a message that Rich from MyGMRS no longer supports linking of repeaters on the MyGMRS-Linked Network, so looking for info on any other options.

    Yup, happens everywhere - virtually every channel in my area.. They could be using FRS radios instead of GMRS radios, but, it doesn't really matter.. and you are correct - policing isn't really on your shoulders unless it is creating a safety hazard or intererferring with your business, etc.. you COULD report it.. but, it wont do any good as the FCC has larger issues to deal with.

    Thanks, i read that entire thread but because it is 7 years old, I thought there might be some updates/something new/different - the options mentioned in that thread also did not meet my need of 'easy to use' or 'plug and play' .. But, thanks anyway. Hoping others have more helpful input.

    I am looking into linking my repeater with a friends repeater, to extend both of our coverage. Preferably something plug & play and easy to use (set it and forget it). What options are there and if you've used any, how did it/they perform? TIA .
  12. OffRoaderX
    Are you even sure that is the "Pro" ?? The Pro model does not have the Roger Beep option..
  13. OffRoaderX
    The sad-hams would come crawling out of the woodwork like moths to a bright light! ??

    Its only a TalkAround button if you program it to be a TalkAround button.. Mine is programmed to do nothing.
  15. OffRoaderX
    No.. I have no reason/need for that.
  16. OffRoaderX
    My KG905G does not have dual PTT..
  17. OffRoaderX
    I cant wait to use the STUN/KILL function on the next guy that tries to road-rage on me!
  18. OffRoaderX
    It could be either.. there is probably some fancy way to tell which it is, but usually repeaters will have a short 'hang time' sound that you hear for about 1/2-second after the person un-keys their mic.

    I just finished a 'home brew" 50W repeater for about $790 not counting the antenna/duplexer, etc.. Very simple to put together and set up.. of course, for more $ you can do something much fancier, but it wont transmit any further. You can see more about it in this little video i made about it:
  20. OffRoaderX
    Take a look at the Wouxun KG-1000G. It's 50W and has a small, remote-mount faceplate, so you can toss the chassis under the seat, and put the small faceplate wherever it best suits the decor.. I LOVE this radio, mostly because of that..but it's also a good radio - far better than the 50X1 (of which I also have).
  21. OffRoaderX
    Working fine for me.
  22. OffRoaderX
    When I ordered my 1486 (about 3 weeks ago) the pic did not show any elements either, but it does come with them, and they should be used.
  23. OffRoaderX
    We hear the same thing on the roads.. A lot of nothing and people that dont respond (probably using privacy codes).. When offroading, the official GMRS channel is 16.. This a scientific fact because is "offroading" = "4 X 4" and 4 x 4 = 16 .. so this is the scientific answer to the question - it is explained in more detail in this video made by some Youtube clown:
  24. OffRoaderX
    No matter what I buy, someone will say it's wrong. LMR-400 will do the job just fine.
  25. OffRoaderX
    Good luck! going through much of the same right now.. struggling to find a workable place for the antenna, but settled on a telescoping mast mounted the side of a 7-foot wall.. Also went with the LMR-400.. Hope to have mine all up and running by next week. My setup is a repeater using TWO KG-1000G's, but everything else is pretty much the same.
