Ya dont!

OP: What time is it? "Some People": [6 paragraphs on the theory of time and how clocks are built]

Try removing all tones from both radios, then try again and make sure you're at least 10 feet apart, and report back.

Are you asking if two different people with their own licenses can talk to each other?

Yes, on both my older Intel iMac and my new M1 Silicone iMac. For an M1 you have to do a little tinkering, but it works.

Its not an 'option' per-se, (IIRC I'm on my Mac so I can't remember exactly) - You have to right-click on the program icon and select that option from the menu - you have to do it for the install program, then again for the program after you install it.

CHRIP is better in every way so hopefully that will work - but curious if you tried to both install the DB25G software and run it "As Administrator" ?

They are the same.. Try removing the Decode tone to see if that helps, unless you are absolutely certain that the repeater uses the same decode and encode tones. It is also possible that you are simply out of range of the repeater - EVEN if you can hear it, that does not necessarily mean that you can hit it. Try going outside or driving closer if necessary.

Another "Expert"....and you guys think I make this stuff up.. I didnt even mention that he only has a ham callsign..

One of the members of our group recently was successful in having his city put up an open GMRS repeater intended primarily for emergency use, but also available the rest of the time. He is now trying to expand to other local cities but is facing much resistance and typical bureaucracy and red-tape of getting the city government to approve everything.

Maybe if you tell us what kind of radio you have, and what exactly you mean by "work with", we can help..

Fricken Retevis and their narrowbandbullshite.

Wider is better.. Unless you plan on using narrowband radios.

I will let @marcspazpost his results.. @WROZ250 I will concede that with my IP address IF someone successfully hacks into my ISP and IF my dynamic IP has not changed between the time the hack occurred and when someone is reviewing the info, then yes, it is possible to get someone's information.. The chances of that happening in reality for someone targeting you is slim, and there are much easier ways to get info on people. Pretty sure I didnt use the word bullshit - i was just pointing out that the words you posted for us to all read, were incorrect, or at a minimum, way, oversimplified, as stated.

Not to argue, but, I respectfully disagree - Prove me wrong by telling me my name and address (using only my IP, not other methods), I will make it easy by giving you my IPv4: 137.25.167.239

Thats because your Internet gateway/router and/or IP address does not give away your location as previously claimed, it gives away location information for your ISP.

Straight from the horses-ass...Erhh.. MOUTH.. #3 - The GMRS-9R (mine at least) does not come with a programming cable -So... problem solved! #5 - The software for the GMRS-9R is in .RAR (not really a big deal).. I just use CHIRP - problem solved! #6 - The # button only changes power level when in VFO mode.. You get the "screw-you" tone in channel mode #8 - Fixed! Both the Abbree flexible antenna (with a huge base) and the Nagoya 771 fit

I dont have a complete list, but you can put Btech (even though they deny it) and Rugged on your list.

Yes.

You don't.

If that doesnt help contact support at BuyTwoWayRadios and they will either set you straight or send you a new radio.

I have several 905Gs and the antennas on all of them work fine. Its possible you have a dud, or some other issue, but using a better antenna like a Nagoya 771G might help.. The only setting in the radio that might make any difference would be the squelch - make sure its not up too high or it could blank-out weak signals.. try setting it at 1 or 2 and see if that helps.

Make sure that your repeater channel is set to WIDEband.

No, you dont.. The steps are: Turn radio ON Set volume at around and least 50% Upload file to radio

Yes
