    OffRoaderX got a reaction from coryb27 in So,.....what now ?   
    "all" the other GMRS repeater systems throughout the country are not shutting down.. Many are, but some will choose to wait until the FCC actually does/says something. This site is much more than just some linked GMRS repeaters, so, no, my guess is that there is zero reason for this site to shut down.

    no, it does not sound like you are missing anything. Double check the tone in your Midland table, and if possible, confirm that the tone for the repeater is correct.. 
    It is possible that the repeater/tone you are configuring is no longer online, and you are hearing a different repeater.

    THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!!1  STOP LYING!!!  if you use an illegal radio the FCC will triangulate your position and WILL issue a $10,000 fine or you could face prison!  Its your choice to take the risk!
    ...i have literally seen "licensed ham-radio operators" tell people this online, so it MUST be true.. because they have a license!

    Im not going to lie... sometimes I'm the "some people" identified in your closing statement. BUT... in my defense, as soon as everyone realizes I am always right, we will all get along much better.

    Not when you have it set backwards like you posted.. The "pair" is opposite on the repeater than it is on a radio..
    On the repeater you TX on 462, RX on 467.
    On your radio you TX on 467, and RX on 462.

    Howdy from Oklahoma City. I'm a retired truck driver who has used CB radio (legally, of course) for decades. My adult son and I were recently discussing alternate communications for the day when internet and cell phones go dark. My investigations led me to the world of GMRS, something about which I knew nothing until a couple of weeks ago. I sent the FCC $35, and in return they kindly gave me a call sign (WSEG265). A pair of TidRadio TD-H3 GMRS hand held units arrived from Amazon five hours ago. So, here I am, starting from scratch and trying to learn whatever I can about this strange, new world.

    It's not an opinion. it is fact based on the FCC's public (lack of) enforcement record.
    What I am doing is telling people to use their own brains and try not to be brainwashed bootlickers ALL the time. But if i do decide to promote rule-breaking I'll be sure to tell you first so we can watch you cry about it. mmhkay?

    It should be opposite - TX on 462.625 and RX on 467.625
    Also click on "Help" then the "Index" tab - Help in most older software it doesn't work but in CE27 it still does. It give a brief definition of almost all the settings.
