    I am happy with the Nagoya 320A I have. Works well on all three bands
  2. AdmiralCochrane
    I agree. VOIP is VOIP. QRP to the other side of the earth and impress me.

    You don't want to meet my brother. He even makes me pull out the dictionary, but his friends call him "the guy who doesn't talk much"
  4. AdmiralCochrane
    Ooops double post

    I actually use my ham knowledge working on HVAC controls. Sometimes a sensor with a particular value needs to be simulated or corrected. I carry a signal generator, a decade box and a box of assorted resistors on my service truck. A megger that can read a gig and a Fluke 87 (which can also read nanosiemens if you know how to do the conversion). Guess who gets sent to the freak jobs.

    I use it as a derogatory pejorative and mean it. I think most hams now are appliance operators that DO NOT know how radios and antennas work. Those who really know are a shrinking minority.

    Sweet Jesus ...

    GMRS isn't ham radio. They are different services on different bands. I might be in Kent County MD on Saturday and Sunday, but too far west for any DE contacts

    My old microwave in my kitchen is 1200 watts, capable of a really nasty burn
  10. AdmiralCochrane
    No, I meant: Who do you talk to?
  11. AdmiralCochrane
    It can get rather technical but 50 watts of non-ionizing radiation is 50 watts. Don't touch a 100 watt light bulb and don't hold on to a 50 watt bulb for too long.

    Is your use of your Business/LMR license essentially the same as others use GMRS other than the limitation to your assigned frequency?
  13. AdmiralCochrane
    If nothing else the 20w radio will sound louder. You will have the clear commanding voice.
  14. AdmiralCochrane
    Nope, nope, nope not going to even look

    I have to look away so I'm not buying a new radio every 6 months.

    I have had to go thru as many as 5 virtual ports in software to find a compatible port for some software. The ports aren't the physical plug in ports on your machine, they are the virtual ports in the software. As the Grand Master points out, different drivers can have their own preference for one port over another - and Windows sucks.

    In the stone age, there were GMRS business licenses. You could be receiving data being transmitted by a grandfathered business licensee.

    Will be 4 next month. Says he's ready
  19. AdmiralCochrane
    Would work for me
  20. AdmiralCochrane
    Possibly, but ducting is erratic, not consistent. If he consistently works from that spot, it's NOT ducting.

    Diffraction

    Because Randy said ...

    Same in central MD. We have 2 1.25m repeaters that only get used by us in the 1.25 mafia
  24. AdmiralCochrane
    HRO for the win!

    Music is math is music. At some colleges, some music classes are accepted as required math credits. My wife's best friend got out of several math classes via that route.
