Looks like a CCA!!! (Cheap Chinese Antenna).. But the reviews aren't bad, and at 1/2 the price of the Tram (which i have), it looks like a decent deal.. Of course, someone will come along and post "you get what you pay for".. But sometimes you pay less for something that does the job just fine...

BTech GMRS 50 Pro.. I would give you mine but I literally just gave it away on Saturday.... ..But if adding tones is all you care about, that's really overkill - any low-cost mobile GMRS radio lets you easily add tones in just a few button-clicks for half the price or less..

....hold my radio.. I'ma do something real quick....

More lies and misinformation Tammy! People stand up and call BS to my face every day.

Which to a normal person, using normal ears, appears to be "listening to two channels at the same time"... Next you going to explain to us how "movies don't really move"? Geezusphuckingkrist "some people" are insufferable..

IF it is not "locked", then, YES. IF it is 'locked', then, NO. So the actual answer is: It Depends TL;dr: Maybe

The point is, "some people" are out there, right now, spreading lies and misinformation on the online forums, videos, etc, claiming that the FCC will actively go after you, track your location, fine, you, or even jail you for using a radio/repeater on GMRS that is not Part 95E approved. We must stop the lies.

Yes.

Of course I am correct! How dare you have the insolence to think otherwise! .. But..Yah..

This is correct - although Retevis has had one for 3 or 4 years, but before that, there were none - Yet with thousands of non part 95 approved repeaters out there, nobody is in jail.

This is an incorrect statement and @TerriKennedy should be ashamed for saying something so ridiculous when he obviously has no idea what he is talking about: there is no such thing as a "standard Baofeng box" - i have, or have had, nearly every radio manufactured by Baofeng (dozens), and they have a very wide variety of boxes. Some of them plenty large enough to fit a 15" antenna in diagonally SEVERAL of those radios (and radios from other brands) have shipped with 15" antennas and they all very easily fit inside the smaller boxes, as @WRTC928 stated.

There are a LOT of words in this thread but I would like to point out that the FCC has never..not once, not ever, gone after anyone for simply using a non Part 95 certified repeater on GMRS... Never....

KINDA .. IF all the radios are compatible with the feature and IF all the radios are correctly configured, you can use the Group Call (also has other names depending on the manufacture) feature to talk to only certain radios in your group. HOWEVER - Radios not configured to do this and radios not compatible will ALL HEAR everything you say — Basically it is a fancy squelch or call-tone limiting only what the radios configured for your groups can hear (they can only hear their group), but all other radios can still hear everything.

Official GMRS highway/road channel = 19 Official GMRS off-road/4X4 channel = 16 Source: I saw it on Youtube

Oh, my! That sounds serious! Can you tell us more about what will happen if he (or anyone) makes a pest of themself?

Its easiest to start with the pre-programmed channels so you can see what they look like in CHIRP.. Once you figure that out you can then create your own new, custom channels. Re Tone or TSql, i believe @SteveShannon already answered that question in your other post, and because he is an officially-recognized HERD, you should listen to what he says.

You spelt farz wrong.

IIRC something like this will occur if you are using the 935G software instead of the software specifically for the 935G PLUS radio.. are you sure you are using the Plus version of the software and not the regular 935G software? You can download it here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/downloads/dl/file/id/1572/product/5920/wouxun_kg_935g_plus_programming_software.zip If you are already using the correct software then my only other response is "this sounds like a Windows issue".

Your loyalty will be remembered and rewarded when the day comes...

I stand corrected and you are correct - I just realized the same thing with my KG-905G PLUS radio.. It seems there is some leeway in interpreting the FCCs rules on radios that do not have a full keypad.

You watched the wrong Youtube videos if you are only seeing stuff that is 2 or 3 years old. The high-end, QUALITY YouTubers review all new GMRS radios as soon as they are available .. ...just sayin...

Try 100 feet and report back.

I asked this question twice on your other post and still have not received a response, so i'll ask more slowly this time: How ... farrrr.. aparttttt.. areeee.. theee... twooooo radiosssss ..whennnnn youuu are testinggggg themmm?

Yes, but the rules, personalities, social-abilities, and cultures of the users are vastly different between services..

How far apart are the radios when you are testing?
