I have done similar with our SAR repeaters. We use a different input PL on the repeaters but common transmit PL. That way ou can hear folks on both repeaters regardless which channel I have selected. In the old days this was considered poor man voting but worked well for many public safety agencies.

I have multiple repeaters. None are listed. I dont need or want them listed. Why should others list my repeater ?

Most of the large race teams have licenses for the system. My system in my jeep cost around that price with 2 headsets, headset jacks and radio. I dont run TRBO but have my VHF or UHF tied in on that jeep. Not sure if he is using a LMR system to give him long range or not but know some folks that subscribe to a LMR system to give them range and distance on RF. On a side note just got home from Windrock Park this weekend for our first JJUSA event of the year. Have 4 this year on top of other events. Was great to get in the woods and actually tested my new starlink mini in the jeep on the trails. Worked as expected but was nice to sit and lunch and upload some photos and videos while everyone else was out of service.

Carry all my FCC certs in my wallet. As said the license has the wallet card on it.

Hams are most liekly loosing 900Mhz and if they dont start using spectrum again they will loose more. They can use narrowband now and many do.

Thats due to the fact to part 90 FCC certification the radio can't have the ability to do that. Many of us that use LMR gear utilize a MPL configuration (PL/DPL List) that is selectable. My work radios have FPP for conventional stuff but thats ordered with appropriate documentaiton. On the hobby side all my midlands allow me to pick what tone I may need when I want from the head or panel. 99% of the GMRS users dont ever change stuff so once you set it you dont change it again. I dont think ive touched my parents radios since they were installed. All depends on use case.

Starting to creep into the not so cheap price...with most folks wanting to spend $25 on a GMRS handheld it will be internesting to see how many sell. I paid not much more for my Midland 575 on sale last fall.

Staffords is P25 Phase II. Its very simple to do what he did. Ton of videos and forum directions on how to do what he did and folks helped him. Just like here.

This happens in the US all the time. Tons of radios get bought on governemtn sites or other markets that are still full of stuff. Granted your correct it should get wiped but doesn't alwasy happen. But I can say its also not too hard to add a system if you have a radio as this person did above. This was disacussed heavily on other forums and just like here, people helped him do what he did. Its no different than all the folks here telling new users how to use HAM radios on GMRS or other non GMRS radios on GMRS. "no one will get caught" is what I see all the time. Same stuff gets said on putting public safety stuff in legacy part 90 radios. If everyone would simply not help these folks most of this would not happen, or happen way less. But as others say...you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube at this point...

There is more to this story than you read I am sure. This also happens way more than you think but dont go to this level. I apploud this county for pushing this and the FCC doing something. Too many folks think its fine to do what they do just like this site.

Isn't this a repeater ? If so there is no need for 800 frequencies. 99% of the time a repeater is on one channel and one channel only.

Lots of threads already on this radio. USe the search above and type in your radios. Here is the first that popped up for me

Agree my new work truck is a Nissan Frontier. Trying to jam 4 radios in it was a joke. In the end I had to go with remote head, dual heads to control it all.

I tried one of these on a SAR members vehicle, 2021 3500HD DEnali with the sliding roof as yours. It was on a trunked system and on the system with a 1/4 wave worked ok. Simplex was misserable. Since then I dropped 2 NMO mounts in the roof and that mount was given away. There is plenty enough room for a NMO on each side. He runs a 1/4 wave VHF and UHF. At times he does swap out to the Larsen NMO puck on UHF but 90% of the time the 1/4 wave is on the truck.

I run the 275/575 in all my Jeeps. I like KISS and that works for my needs. Not a ton of room in a Jeep.
