hmmmm, did not know that about RX settings for repeaters. I might just open up some settings. Right now I apparently have 6 channels programmed for rx only to a certain code, blocking me from some un-coded simplex reception. If I read that right.
Wish I knew how to post picture's of my power supply. Looking at the BTECH 50x1 myself just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Midland MXT400( AKA Baofeng 9500) put's up a good comparison. I do like having the receive only option. Midland seems better made. Really happy with my Wouxun KG-805G HT.
So I'm totally new to dedicated gmrs. I have a wouxun kg-805g and am trying to program via PC. I think I have my repeaters programed by time will tell. Question 1. What is step and what should I be setting it to? Question 2. What is side tone?
I just picked up a pair of the kg-805g. Feels like a durable unit. Have heard some chatter in the repeater channels from some considerable distances. I'm totally new so I don't know how to program my radio's for repeater use, but give me time I'll learn. FM radio is a plus.
