  1. 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.
  2. Some youtube stuff is better than others. I still ask questions here
  3. Coast Guard pretty accurately and quickly locates false Maydays and other infractions on Marine Band. Important to know exact location of real Maydays.
  4. Technician is in Group C with General It's on the second page. Don't know how to link it
  5. Yes, causing interference is the main no no in all RF use
  6. FCC has some Youtube videos of their mobile set ups. I don't have a link, but perhaps someone else can provide.
  7. Or program the 105 to the pre-programmed tones on the RT15's
  8. 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.
  9. There is a good chance that it won't work within the building. If the structure is the common corrugated metal with concrete, it will be blocked. A repeater to work within a building with that structure ... would be adjacent to the building rather than in it or on top.
  10. I keep my amperage to myself
  11. Lucky in central MD. Good round tables on both ham and GMRS. When a couple guys start talking about the best pizza place we can have 6 or 7 in very good order for 15 or 20 minutes sometimes.
  12. SWR meter, nano NVA or some other expensive antenna analyzer
  13. You are in trouble again. He didn't understand your sarcasm.
  14. Usually not. It's the frequencies that are blocked, not the memory addresses.
  15. I think there is one in Chestertown and one in Still Pond Kent County MD Yeah, the Towson .600 rules Look at repeaterbook.com so see more
  16. and he has read every word of this without saying a damn thing
  17. That is surprising. Reinforces my opinion about Midland's priorities. They are the KINGS of GMRS marketing.
  18. I'll try to poke around and figure it out
  19. They have pills for that now.
  20. Shaking Elvis's hand would be icky considering how long he's been cold. Meeting him would be even worse, because that would mean I was with him. Not sure if Randy has been complimented or insulted.
  21. I have been able to tilt my HT far enough out of polarization to have my signal go from full readable to barely readable when in contact with a repeater 20 miles away. Also whether the ISS repeater was readable or not (yes, with a regular verticle on a HT).
