So let's quit screwing around and get a go fund me together for a dozer and a BIG track hoe and most likely a portable concrete plant and start building AT&T style bunkers...
That's what 1% is doing.

Looks good but you have the wrong channel! Everyone knows it should be CH19..
As far as I understand you cannot operate on CH19 and CH21 North of Line A. So, for me travel channel would be CH20.
https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/maps/frequency-coordination-canada/
QuoteLicensees who operate North of Line A and East of Line C may not operate on channels 462.650 MHZ,467.650 MHZ, 462.700 MHZ and 467.700 MHZ unless your previous license authorized such operations.

Speaking of Faraday box, what do you guys think of this?

Well, I've just been burned by this issue. I think what happened is that I edited my CHIRP config file for the KG-805G using CHIRP-Next and then CHIRP-Next did not want to recognize the KG-805G, so I tried to upload the config that was edited in CHIRP-Next using HIRPp-daily and now the radio can't transmit or receive.
I emailed BTWR about this, it seems like they used to have a code plug on the product page but it seems to no longer be there.
If one of you could send me the CHIRP file to fix the KG-805G it would make me extremely happy - it doesn't help that I just sold this radio to a friend and was just updating some programming for him
This is not a 2 hour rabbit hole I was expecting to go down.
Don't use CHIRP for KG-805G. You need Wouxun OEM software for 805G. Do you have it?
I will send you PM when I upload KG-805G code plug file to my cloud storage.
PS
PM sent.

Well, I have conspiracy theory.
Director of 2003 Italian Job movie is F. Gary Gray. He also directed a bunch of music videos. It is possible that he had some musicians for jam/recording session and they recorded that funky riff and he decided to stick 43 seconds of that riff into the movie.

what is the timing from start to this point of the movie?
On commercial Blu-Ray disk it is exactly the start of chapter 5 at 0:16:48 mark and ends at 0:17:31. So, it is only plays for 43 seconds.

Unagrey asks your exact question on the site you linked; is that you?
No, not me.

I just want audio clip to listen at home and in my car.

You sure it is from The Italian Job?
Yes. It is where the movie scene transitions from Venice to the Alps after they finished heist. And it is only 40 seconds of that tune.

Here is a listing of the 15 tracks of the score from the soundtrack album of The Italian Job (2003) by John Powell:
Varese Sarabande Records (302 066 482 2)
I can't seem to figure out which track it is from the samples given.
It is not John Powell. It is short excerpt from some song from some funky band.

Certainly inspired by Weapon of Choice
Yes, very similar funky style.

Most instrumental tunes are written by John Power, and there is a bunch of other artist, but this one is not listed on this site:

I am trying very hard to find the band name and song title of this tune, but I have no luck. Did anybody hear it before?
It is from 2003 movie Italian Job. Ignore the title of this short video, I just named it Mountains because it shows mountains.
It is very cool funky tune.

It is for Prime members only.
If I am not logged in, it shows $109.
If I log with my ID (I don't have Prime) it shows $109.
When I log in with my son's ID (he has Student Prime) I shows $87.99.

The Troy machine is on top of a building at about 150 to 200 feet above ground level, I don't have an accurate figure for it. The radius of coverage should be about 20 miles, and might be further if the other station has a good height for it's antenna as well.
This summer I was sitting in my car on DTW South Cell Phone Lot on Eurika road waiting for airplane to arrive. At that time I had Wouxun 905g mounted in my car as mobile radio and 15" antenna on top of my trunk. I could hear conversation from Troy575 repeater loud and clear. And it is 28 miles distance.

Well, apparently we have special organization plate options here in Michigan issued by state:

I think our confusion in answering your question is because we do not know what transmitting you intend to do with this radio.
Intend is to transmit only on GMRS. But I want also to listen to few HAM repeaters (with frequencies of 442.xxxx and 444.xxxx), and my local weather station (WX1 - 162.55000).
I have two dual band HTs - BTECH GMRS-V1 and Wouxun KG-UV9G, that are certified for GMRS and I can do all this with those.

I believe that 2.30 fixed most everything that NotARubicon mentioned in his video review.
-Rusty-
Rusty,
Do you have link to that video or list of items fixed in 2.30 firmware?
I searched Randy's (NotARubicon) YT channel and couldn't find AT-779UV review, just Radioddity DB20-G review.

I am still using v2.26 on mine so let me know what advantages come from the upgrade.
Will do if I decide to do it.
Now, question for you Michael. What is the difference between UHF(400 - 490 MHz) VHF(136 - 174 MHz) and UHF(400 - 470 MHz) VHF(136 - 174 MHz) when choosing model?
And which one should I choose to be law abiding citizen?

Which Firmware version is installed? (power off, hold down V/M, power on)
I have V2.28. I downloaded AT779_UV_500_v2_29_3_VOX 2021_4_14.ZIP file with 2.29 firmware from some website, but I need to watch video that came with it before I decide to upgrade.

I am very much considering a midland 275 for a mobile unit after I get the license.
I will second MichaelLAX to rather save $65 and get Anytone 779-UV (aka Retevis RA-25 or Radioddity DB-20G) which are programable via software and are not locked to narrow band like Midland 275.
I received AnyTone AT-779UV yesterday that I bought on Amazon for $101. I programmed it via OEM software and installed today in my car. And I FELL IN LOVE with this radio.
I can listen to HAM repeaters, I can listen to weather channel. It's just very cute little radio.

Grab it as Amazon shows it for $109 to me today!
Received it today. It is very cute little radio. Oh, and it is 20W compare to HT's 5W. Programing AnyTone software is not bad at all.

I disagree with the title of the thread.
You need to watch more Randy's videos and understand that Randy has great sense of humor and sarcasm. And that's what is the title of this thread - sarcasm. At least IMHO.
Cheers.

Please, educate me on these DMR walkie-talkies.
Do you need HAM, GMRS (already have), or any kind of license to operate these DMR HTs?
