    Yeah I was looking at that radio when it came out

    Unless you drive a Jeep

    Marc, I am going to get an FM CB sometime in the next year or two, but haven't decided how or where to mount it in my Jeep. Pretty sure we are only an hour or so apart (depending on traffic). We can probably both hit some of the same repeaters that are between us. I actually haven't tried them in a while

    Don't confound government agency opinion with its actual regulations.

    Uncle Charlie definitely frowns on people trying to own entire bands. Again, the actions of a few spoiling something that could benefit many.

    What is the frequency Kenneth?

    A 90-341 type relay is a 2 pole double throw relay with a 120v coil with each contact rated for 15 amps. If you use both poles you are 15x2 amps. It is the second most common relay in HVAC/R work ... the most common being the 90-340, same relay with 24v coil

    I read in the first post he is using a 50w GMRS radio.

    Reuters seems to know more about this than Massad

    Emergency comms is not the focus of GMRS, nor is GMRS particularly useful for E comm; that is why it is little used as such. GMRS is good for what it is good for.

    LMR 400 is perfect for 50 - 60 ft runs. Maybe even 100. If most of your 100 is up, the height gain will more than offset the power loss.

    Follow the money

    This is what I come here for.

    In my experience those with use more than 10% of the time are usually used by people who won't let you get a word in edgewise and/or you don't want to listen to anyway.

    Like Randy says if you need durability, stick with the Motorola XP 5000

    A couple blocks in a residential neighborhood is normal range for GMRS handhelds. Other factors such as antenna polarization also come into play.

    I'm starting a new secret society ... The Friends of Randy. We need a secret handshake and password.

    There is also knife edge refraction.

    Can't believe I beat this one.
  20. AdmiralCochrane
    Goes with my comment as well, but you changed other factors for your argument alone.

    Does the TD-H8 have part 95 certification?
  22. AdmiralCochrane
    Yes, further proof that GMRS will become the new CB.
  23. AdmiralCochrane
    Line of sight also trumps coax type. Even if you lost 90% of power, if you still have actual line of sight, you should make contact.

    KAIX 3715

    The only perfect antenna is a dummy load, but the erp is very low.
