  1. Correction: Based on the FCCs "enforcement" record over the last 15 years for H.A.M.s radios, GMRS, and CB radio, they apparently do NOT like to enforce their rules.
  2. CORRECTION: Not "illegal", but a violation of FCC rules..
  3. I know a guy here on this forum that regularly/ALWAYS gets 200+ miles on all of his radios.. He apparently does this by purchasing every radio ever made and if it does not get 200+ miles, he just throws it directly into the trash.. All of his "friends" also do the same thing, so this method obviously works.
  4. ...that can also receive VHF & UHF, including 70cm. But chances are he was a a GMRS channel and was hearing linked repeaters.
  5. "some people" are so funny, all trying to prove who's smarter over something that does not matter in any way - The FCC doesn't even care. "some people" should bicker over something that actually matters.
  6. Yah, that's what i thought.. I dont know if the OP as already installed the software, it had a driver issue, so now he's installing the drivers, or if he's just clicking willy-nilly.. When I installed the software the separate driver setup/install was not needed as you eluded to in your previous post. MrSig: Did you install the actual software, and ran into a problem with the drivers, and that is why you are trying to run the Driver Setup program?
  7. I dont know man, I am not such a petty control freak that i would care about something like that.. jeezus.. go outside and touch some grass.
  8. Charging for its use does not make it "commercially operated".. But, to (i think) answer your and the OP's question, it does not break any rules to charge for the repeater as long as its not "for profit" ..
  9. If that makes you sad, you should set up your own repeater so everyone can use it for free and teach them all a lesson.
  10. Often times there is no benefit to most people. When asked, I generally recommend to never bother with an update unless said update fixes some specific issue that you need to be fixed. "some people" often just blindly apply any update they come across and they sometimes learn the hard way that the risk of permanently brick'ing the radio is high.
  11. What is the name of the Executable file you are running when this happens?
  12. I am going to guess, based on his previous responses, that he is going to have zero clue what any of those words mean. ..just a guess though..
  13. Probably, and in most cases, yes - but as @SteveShannon pointed out, there are many other factors - and, as he also mentioned, you need to try it in the real world - and you should listen to him because he is an official & licensed H.E.R.D.
  14. Can you give the exact wording, or a screenshot of any errors or messages you received?
  15. Same here.. that should never been enabled.. I guess now we know why.. although my NEXT suggestion would have been to do a factory-reset, which would have set that setting back to off, thereby fixing the issue, so technically, given a long-enough timeline, I was right.
  16. yah, try that in this neck of the woods and we will berate you right off the channel - go try to impress people somewhere else.
  17. This ^ .. the etiquette is, there is no etiquette..
  18. It's less expensive than both the KG-1000G Plus and either of the 50W Midland radios, both of which are very good sellers.. So far, based on my sales analytics, this radio is proving to be very popular.
  19. All of the Ghost antennas i've tested (more than just one brand) all performed better than the UT-72G antennas I tested them against .. that should give a baseline that they aren't as bad as "some people" repeatedly claim.
  20. all things that normal people, aka the average GMRS user that this radio is marketed to, do not care about. This radio is marketed to normal people, not radio-dorks - It seems like you may be out of touch with what normal people want.
  21. I have been assured by "some people" that this is a lie, this never happens, and it is impossible - and if you spread these vicious lies you are a racist or a nazi, or "too dumb to pass the test"..
  22. The Amazon man just delivered my BTech GMRS 50Pro - ask your questions now/post your concerns! I will be uploading a video about it in the next day or two and looking for feedback/questions, even from "some people". Update: Here is the video:
  23. He is incapable of actually being helpful. He prefers to make himself look like a rhee-tard every chance he gets. This is the recommended fix:
