Yes, a tree. Make it 50 trees and even 50 watts might not push 65cm a mile.

Line of sight is more important than power delivered to the antenna; it's possible to hit 40 miles line of sight with less than 5 watts.

Yeah, I'd bet the sammich that does not come to pass in the allotted time frame.

Want to wager a ham sandwich on that? Need to define "soon" before the wagering

Exactly. The change was to instruction to judges/courts that legal challenges to regulations are now allowed, where before, courts were not allowed to consider challenges to regulations. Each and every change depends on an individual court case challenge to that particular regulation. Some are calling this a power grab by the judicial branch. In a small way it is, but Congress still has the power to limit what courts can do; this is written into the Constitution.

I may be missing the point completely but to me it seems to be saying Autopatch may not be used on GMRS

You are Dr Evil

Uniden is your friend

I would hope so.

I like 2 way radios. The more bands I am licensed to use within the bounds set for each band and license the better. Also the hope that my daughter would keep a GMRS radio at her house that is within range of at least 2 repeaters that also reach my house in case the cell system ever goes down AGAIN. If you didn't live thru it, you don't understand. Had handheld 1/2 watt walkie talkies back in the '60's and CB's in the 70's. Learned how to tune antennas and improve grounding etc with the CB's.

I'm dizzy

Listen both to what is said and what is NOT said. We are only getting a tiny fraction of this story.

The club president was hesitant to reveal the repeater and simulcast system's owner's occupation and employer, but somehow this is related to the owner's relationship to the FCC employee. I will also point out that in his responses, the pres never calls the FCC guy an "agent" There is more to this that is not being told. Thank you Randy

Is this a rule? Should I have checked on YouTube before asking? Sorry, I had to.

IDK what the specifics of the code is behind this, but no matter the link it still goes to page 1. As if all 3 pages are actually page 1 and you can only see part of it at once. Doesn't show as a frame on the page on my browser, maybe it is. I usually love linking directly to a frame rather than a page with a frame if the frame is what I am specifically referring to.

I had a CB in my work truck to get traffic info from the truckers around Washington DC for a while, but too much time with it on 19 listening to them started to lower my IQ and I had to stop. Democracy is a scary idea.

Some youtube stuff is better than others. I still ask questions here

Coast Guard pretty accurately and quickly locates false Maydays and other infractions on Marine Band. Important to know exact location of real Maydays.

Technician is in Group C with General It's on the second page. Don't know how to link it

Yes, causing interference is the main no no in all RF use

And Echolink

FCC has some Youtube videos of their mobile set ups. I don't have a link, but perhaps someone else can provide.

What about #4? Height is might.

Or program the 105 to the pre-programmed tones on the RT15's

One of the long running tenants of ham radio organization and protocols has been self-policing. Example of lack of self-policing is CB radio.
