    I agree. It's not so much that you need special stuff as much as $100 doesn't buy $100 worth of stuff any more.
  2. AdmiralCochrane
    Agreed. Results exactly as expected.
  3. AdmiralCochrane
    Well thought out

    I have a metal box with overlap and metal taped edges that my vehicle still detects the fob thru. The chip signal amplifiers are pretty strong. For improved security I took the battery out of the fob and now the chip has to be within a half inch of the start button.

    If you use sort by date, you can usually figure out whether you are about to repeat something someone else posted a week earlier. Sort by votes can hide this from you.

    I would be stunned if the rioters were not using HT's. Also stunned if three letter people weren't nearby using scanners and recorders and I don't mean Uncle Charlie.

    I'm going to remember that one

    OK, OK, SUPERSTAR

    They are to a price point and are bringing in a lot of new interest because they are accessible. All good things

    OK, I am hiding until the admin sees this and deletes. You probably forgot that's a prohibited subject here. A bunch of us did and the admin came in and "cleaned things up"

    On YouTube he's a star . Around here, he's just another GMRS user.

    I do it all the time.

    You're a ringer - you already know what it means and how to use it.

    I wouldn't be too afraid of that. Pretty sure you would have to read and understand the manual or find the right YouTube video. Probably as likely as randomly hitting the tone by guessing.
  15. AdmiralCochrane
    A lot of new radios have automatic tone ID. If both tones are the same, they only need to be within receiving range of the repeater. If the tones are different (or only input), they would have to be within range of someone transmitting to the repeater, but it is automated these days. No longer necessary to just quess.

    Will you notice a difference in the antennas? At normal effective GMRS fars, probably not. Going for super extended mountain top to mountain top with antennas out of polarization angle agreement, yes.
  17. AdmiralCochrane
    Yes, it's clunky. Same reason for purchase.

    Sorry to hear about the poison oak. First time I got it was from running a motorcycle off the pavement and ended up under the bike in a ditch full of poison ivy. I had to clear a LOT of poison ivy last weekend and ended up with a piece inside the work gloves I was wearing. 67 years old and it still only gave me a single small blister were I had a repeated hard contact. Doesn't mean I won't break out into a bad rash the next time.

    I found out I could get rebuilt Aouye soldering stations cheap.
  20. AdmiralCochrane
    Separate pricing for dots. I ain't stupid.
  21. AdmiralCochrane
    I sell punctuation cheap. Contact me for pricing.

    Be warned, where to get the best pizza seems to bring out hams on 2m repeaters. Congrats. Got for General ASAP, it is no harder to do than Tech and there is overlap in the question pool, you could already accidentally pass it on a lucky day.

    I carried Noalox on my HVAC service van for decades.
  24. AdmiralCochrane
    I used my 220 radio twice today

    WMPT is cranking a meg these days. If I recall correctly, they had a temporary experimental licensed increase to 2 for a few months. My father bought a beam/yagi so far back I don't remember not having it. Probably on advice from my godfather who was a navy radio tech in the very early 1960's.
