    OffRoaderX got a reaction from WRPB665 in Radioddity & Retevis - Return process broken [updated]   
    Can confirm ..
    This is why i always recommend purchasing via Amazon when possible because Amazon protects against this exact thing - even if you have to pay $6 more, it's worth it.

    Physics and me actually doing this both say that you are very, very wrong.

    I had one and it worked fine.. but unless it has some feature that you need that the Retevis RT97 does not have, you should consider it also.

    There is more to a repeater than just duck-taping two radios together.

    It LOOKS like it will connect/work with my XTS but I haven't tested it yet.. someone left a comment on the video and said it only works on XPR - but i dont believe them because it was just some random dude on the internet, so i'll try it.
    if it doesn't work i'm not going to hassle it, i'll just give it to someone that can make use of it.

    OffRoaderX got a reaction from SteveShannon in Dad? I'm not sure what you want here.   
    The repeater has to be associated with a licensed GMRS user, so according to the FCCs, you need a GMRS license, but that is all you need.

    OffRoaderX got a reaction from WRTC928 in So who here uses GMRS properly?   
    You forgot to mention: Also transmits on GMRS with 100+Watts, jams H.A.M.s and GMRS repeaters with music when bored and broadcasts on H.A.M.s radios frequencies with no license, just so I can feel something.
    C'mon man, if you're going to be butthurt and whine like a girl, at least be complete and accurate about it.

    OffRoaderX got a reaction from HHD1 in SWR meter recommendations?   
    For just making sure your radio is generally transmitting about as much power as it should be, to make sure your antenna is not shorted and the SWR is "good enough", the SW-102 is perfect. Ignore all the propeller heads trying to tell you that you need to spend hundreds or thousands of $$ because they have no idea what it means to just do a quick-check on something without the need for adhering to mission-critical IEEE standards nor can they comprehend that your self-worth is not measured by how precisely-tuned your antenna is. 
    Same thing goes for the need of a dummy-load.. You can measure the power of your radio with antenna connected to get a "good enough" power reading, if you even care about that.
    ..."some people" could over complicate a door-knob and they love to spend other people's money.

    OffRoaderX got a reaction from WSHJ961 in Antenna mount type and position   
    Unless you are trying to bounce your signal off the moon, just mount your antenna in the best spot you can, as high as you can get it, and it will work fine for for highway/trail comms.
    My antenna is mounted above the rear tail-light/rear fender of my jeep, below the roofline, where many "experts" warned me it "will not work". and while it certainly does not work as well as it could, it works just fine. I can hit a repeater with it at 92 miles and regularly get 20+ miles on simplex and have never had issues on the trail where i could not hear someone that others could, or they could not hear me.
    My two words of advice are:
    1) ignore the 'experts'
    B ) - dont over-think it.

    Yes - last night I was trying to look up someone's GMRS callsign that he posted on X so I could DOX him, and I was getting that same error.
