The MXT400 is analog as digital radios are not permitted in the GMRS frequencies.

Yep, they just contacted me. For some reason the first application did not go thru. They told me to disregard. Thanks everyone

I agree. I would periodically check the data base to see if there are any changes and keep on using your license. 

CSRAGMRS has this statement pertaining to the use of their equipment: *We do not allow the use of any DTMF or end of transmission tones otherwise known as a Roger Beep(RB).
Seems redundant to use a, "Roger Beep" on a repeater in my opinion if you get used to listening to the repeater operation.
I forgot to say too, that you might search the Repeater Map here and open the information box to see if the owner states a restriction on actually using the repeater with a RB.  Just a suggestion as it seems to me that stipulation would have come with your approval to use the equipment.
Just a newbie trying to help....
 
 

Sure is the same thing!
Although, I will say that the title of this thread is more useless than a wet sock... Anyone searching before posting will have no clue what "says user request denied , I did no such thing." means lol.

I’m using an iPad and yes, emojis are not appearing in posts.  More evidence to suggest that something ist kaput.

"Fonarow pointed out that cryptocurrency is just one idea the city has heard. Trail officials may learn more once the locked boxes are opened."  If they moved them, I bet some have already been opened...
Odd that they allowed a story to be published without investigating the components (which I think they have) before attempting removal in todays climate. If that is the case I would think they know if it is HAM or GMRS or other related transmitters.
Using serial numbers and photographs to be presented to folks in the know would be to easy to ID this stuff.  I think the story is to flush out the owners, and/or locate all the units that they might not have found.
 

I think with todays technology most anyone with the desire could get a label printed up (or sticker) with a callsign and attach it inside the back window.

It's normal.
My attitude is that if a repeaters radio waves cross over to your radio, such that you can decode its tones and use the repeater, you have the right to use the repeater until such time as a "proper" authority tells you otherwise.
Obviously being courteous in attempting to obtain permission first is always good practice.

I have to admit, when there are 5 kids in the neighborhood wracking that button nonstop for 3 hours, it gets old fast.  Especially when you find out the kids are all in the same room.

Oh, great, now I have to get a Jeep…
?

And the bottom line is: It IS up to the individual using the equipment to get the license.  And many just either don't know or care not to know.  The same was the issue with the CB radios...
The best option we have is to not converse with them on the air.  It's your choice.
 
 

I'm guilty too. specially when in a group and no one uses their call sign (CS).   We usually have an intro going to trails early in the morn.  Names are mentioned etc.  Would actually be a wonderful time to start the effort and use their CS just to stay in practice (and legal).  Kinda like running through intersections in the woods and not looking both ways for cross-traffic.  It becomes a relaxed atmosphere and no one pays it any mine...  Yes there are those that do not have a license too.  A cool shoulder might be enough to push them in the right direction.
And why can't JJAMUSA require it as a part of their entry requirements?  I'll ask.  I think I know what the answer is all ready.

Honestly, I believe you're correct 99.9% of the time.  Most may never use the repeaters anyway and answer permission only out of ignorance or in hopes of maybe using it when you pass thru an area once a year.  Unless there is an issue brought to the owners attention, they may not even know who is using it. 
I have asked to use private repeaters near me and actually talked to the operators. Seldom on a trip do I raise the owner for a chat for a chat (once but an exception).

Many repeater owners ignore requests.

I don't think there is a way to retract that other than sending correspondence again that rescinds the request.  Why bother, just don't use the repeater.

I see the antenna now that I blew up the picture.  Thanks!

Which ? The roof rack ? If so yes goes around windshield to the top tray then to the rear of the jeep.
 

Is yours one of the MXT400 units that can switch between wideband and narrowband?  If so, make sure its on wideband.. If not, ask one of your friends to switch their radio (temporarily) to narrowband and ask them if it sounds better.  if it sounds ok when you're both on narrowband, then, thats just the way it is..
If its not a narrowband issue, make sure you're not eating the mic.. IIRC, the MXT400 does not have an adjustable Mic gain, so your arm is the only way to adjust it.
If neither of those help, call Midland and tell them you send you a new radio that works.

Me personally, I won't publicly condone rule violations.  That's just stupid, for an unfathomable amount of reasons.
 
Also, if someone asks about the rules, I'll genuinely try to provide a good/correct answer.
 
Beyond that... I really don't care who does what. I just like to argue on the interwebz when I'm bored.

Ya'll go ahead and discuss your silly games.
Off Road vehicles already have decided Ch 16 for the call channel.?

There are some nets I enjoy, and some I do not.  I did however, recently find a redeeming element to even the most annoying of nets.  The constant traffic was very helpful in finding the best location on my roof to place the antenna.  ?

I purchased my first VHS VCR in 1979 for $1,000
One year later, they came out with a new model that had a long cord that plugged into the back and you could hit a button to pause the commercials; for $1,000.
One year later, they came out with a new model that had a wireless remote; for $1,000.
Now do you think the idea of a wireless remote was too advanced for their engineers in 1979? 
I think marketing just said: release a new "cool" feature every year so we can sell new models to existing owners!
Just a brief note of history...
