Not worth risking the heavy-fines or possible jail time !

No, that's the Mesa Crest group.. They speak English..

ok.. so you have NOT confirmed the tone is correct..
CHIRP looks good to me, but see what the experts have to say.
Have you ever tested your radio with a power meter?

Fine... I'll allow it..
Mr @WSFM218 please provide an update!

Those both fall squarely under item #1 of my list.. He has a GMRS radio, and obviously he is a n00b so the mention of "offset" is unnecessary and only adds to his confusion.

There are only 3 possibilities:
You're on the wrong channel You've entered the wrong code(s) You're too far from the repeater The repeater is no longer online

You mean like the cool people that sign-off with "KMG365"?

Exactly! Because this advice is WRONG!!
To "get caught" someone must first be looking for you.. and for someone to go looking for you, they must first care... 
TL;dr: You can't get caught by the FCC because the FCC isn't looking for you because the FCC does not care.

You didnt answer the question. Why are you afraid to answer the question?

i ordered one, i'll let you know..   Shhhhhhh..   🤣

"Making contacts" with anonymous men certainly counts as a personal activity... Very.. very personal..

Sir, I am a serious Youtuber.. I don't "do" comical videos as they are beneath me and my audience.

But it is vitally important, if not imperative that they first discuss their recent Bunionectomy and the status of Myrna Mae's Hernia prior to getting into the nuts an bolts of antennae...

I believe bubble-gum is the standard...

I've been hearing that more and more.. Either they are not locking the new ones or they are "accidentally" shipping the non-U.S. models into the U.S.

But only the FrankenRepeaters have the controller dangling from the side and have a Rasperry-Pi sticker on it.

Uh huh.. Then... Why do I hear FRS radios every time I'm on any of the GMRS repeater channels?  and, why can I hear all of my locked/legal FRS radios on the GMRS repeater channels ?
I am very confused.

So you'd need two different radios, or one radio with two different antennas to make use of these and the existing GMRS channels?  Does not seem very user-friendly... If they are unused, throw 'em to the H.A.M.s.. they'll use it.. they'll use anything.

Do not confuse me with "some people" who apparently only come here to try and make themselves feel better about spending way too much money on their toys by making fun of or demeaning other people's toys.
