OffRoaderX got a reaction from generalpain in Licensing
As predicted ...
We dont need a letter from them because their previous & public record says it for them.
Stop telling boogy-man stories - people are laughing at you.

OffRoaderX reacted to MichaelLAX in Licensing
Person A makes an assertion.
Person B disagrees with Person A's assertion and Person B asks him to provide a citation (or link) that substantiates Person A's assertion.
Person A responds to Person B: "You, Person B, prove me wrong!"
Ah, thank goodness, the world does not work this way! (At least in the United States of America!) ?

OffRoaderX got a reaction from Tamz in Range of Repeaters Using 20W Or So Mobil Radio
There are too many unknown variables for anyone to accurately answer your question - but it is safe to say that that using a 20-30W mobile radio you can hit a repeater anywhere from 1 to 90 miles away.. Maybe more.. maybe less.
I can hit a repeater 70 miles away from me with my 5W handheld and I have hit a repeater from 85 miles away on my 50W mobile..
But it really depends on the mobile radio, the repeater, and what is between the two.

OffRoaderX got a reaction from WRYF714 in FCC does not allow More repeaters?
If what that person said is "the FCC does not allow new GMRS repeaters", then that person lied to you or is an idiot - likely both.

OffRoaderX got a reaction from Duck218 in Superheterodyne vs wattage
Thats not the real-world that I live in, so i'm glad to see that for everyone like me not in an RF-heavy urban environment, the radios dont "suck" .. Because at first, based on your statement, us non-techy people might have misunderstood you to be saying "they suck", which it seems is not the always case, so thanks for clarifying.

OffRoaderX got a reaction from WRPT916 in Superheterodyne vs wattage
I own and have used every one of those radios... All are great radios - Except for the 50X1 - Scratch that one off your list. Its overpriced and VERY limited in its features and in my OPINION, it is not worth the price - and you will never actually get 50W out of it.
The XS20G is a great (very) little radio.
The UV9G Pro is a great radio - but also very complicated.. Same with the 916 (I have one, it will be a long time before you can get one)- But if all the pre-programmed SHTF stuff is what you want/need, then either is a great choice..
I would recommend also considering the KG-905G OR the KG-935G. The 905G is SUPER simple.. the 935G is a little more complex/does a little more, but IMO, still easier than the UV9G or 916.

OffRoaderX got a reaction from WRPQ926 in Problems with repeater set up
Yes - It is entirely possible that you will be able to hear the repeater, but you wont be able to hit it/transmit to it from an HT.

OffRoaderX got a reaction from PartsMan in Retevis RT98
Assuming that is actual outside radio-interference, its likely that any SOC radio would get that same interference.. This is where a superheterodyne radio starts to be worth the extra money.

I don't know. If we keep this up, this could become the longest forum thread on the site. That's something.

OffRoaderX got a reaction from SteveC7010 in New Callsign
You are not correct. GMRS callsigns are assigned sequentially. He is in WI according to the FCC database.
