  1. Hi everyone, I really want to thank all the responses. I guess I was expecting a lot more chatter and was not seeing it. Wife and I did some local comm checks (1.5 to 4+ miles) and my 30 foot mast, an Ed Fong J-Pole antenna and my cheap little Midland Micromobile MXT115 did really well, except where a hill blocked the signal. I was using a hand held Midland X-Tra Talk GMX1000 in my vehicle and had to be outside to connect. More times than not the handheld couldn't reach, but the MXT115 could. At least we confirmed we were transmitting well. Probably will put a Micromobile in the vehicle eventually. Thanks again for the replies! WRHX906 Out!
  2. Hi well what I assumed was a reply after I released my PTT, I received a transmission with no words, like someone keyed a mike without speaking. I only experienced that on the two repeaters that I have set up with the proper codes near me, nothing like that on any other channels. I'm assuming that is the repeater keying back to me.
  3. Hi, I live in mid-coast Maine. I just got my license, radio, base station set up and have been scanning several hours, not one conversation heard. Zero. Not one station responds to a call for "radio check". Zero. Is there really a GMRS network? I did get automated "responses" off two repeaters with in 12 miles, but have yet to talk to a human. Is this network only used when the power is out or during hurricanes and natural disasters or when the aliens have landed? Put your phones down and turn on your radios!
