  1. That guy on youtube lives on a hill and has perfect line of site to the repeater 69 miles away - meaning there is nothing between him and it. I'm pretty sure he's explained that in pretty much every video. I'm not saying he is not telling the truth. I just don't see how a 5 watt HT with a range of up to 36 miles (elevated terrain)(BuyTwoWayRadios GMRS chart) and from the fellows den, though his window and though the trees across the street can hit the Mt Pal repeater 69 miles away.
  2. I learned how to setup and program my radio from watching some old YouTube videos posted from some old guy who looks like GI Joe.
  3. San Gabriel Canyon road lookout (highway 39 at about 6,000 ft elevation) is wear I met the fellow with the tricked out Subie. This spot was 13.74 miles as the crow flies North of the 210. And about 40 miles from the Mt Santiago repeater. But I heard nothing on channels 1-7 and 15-22 plus 8 repeater channels.
  4. My computer had the pdf as 905G manual.pdf. But when opened it just now (6-25-2022 @ 0800 hrs, it does show 935. Yes I could of made a mistake or maybe they are reading post to this forum and they want me to look bad (for asking about a affiliate link)
  5. So very simple, you just got to SCREAM in the microphone. Then folks will say wow you got a wide band radio.
  6. Read my question again. THE MANUAL LIST 56 MENU ITEM, BUT THE RADIO ONLY HAS 35 MENU ITEMS. SO HOW DO I OPEN UP THE OTHER 21 MENU ITEMS?
  7. In many stated a Common Law Marriage is legal and binding. And lets not forget that US Foreign Embassy they fly the gay pride flag.
  8. Cheap one maybe yes, sure not with my Wouxun 906G
  9. My 905G radio has 35 menu items. But the manual listed 56 menu items. So what do i need to do to the radio to open up the missing menu items?
  10. In a quest to make contact with a repeater I went way up into the mountains. It was a fun time, saw a lot of stuff. But I had gone to far, I was out of cell coverage. I turned on my 20 watt mobile radio (no affiliate link below) and heard nothing. Ever though that guy on YouTube said he hit a repeater (with what ever HT he was reviewing) while in is house 69 miles away. I found that I was to far from every thing and quite screwed. Maybe my 50 watt mobile could been a better choice. So I pulled into a turn off full of tricked out Subie's with wings. I guess they were down hill racers, but they were open and friendly. So while technology failed me, a Filipino fellow with a fat tire, cold intake, turbo, warped, and winged Subie, help me get home.
  11. A few companies sell radios with more than standard 1-22 channels. One company claims there radio has a 128 channels. By adding a "privacy tone" do you create a real channel?
  12. As I can't charge my V1 cuss the charging cradle does not work. And at $26. for a new charging kit VS just buying a new one, a maybe a V-2. But
  13. I went cheap and got a Retevis RB38V and learn a lesson. Out of the box the radio is a paper weight. You need to buy a programming cable and get the program off of the company website.

    DIY

    What is a DIY channel?
  15. I had spoken with Buytwowayradio tech support about the static and they said to set the squelch to 5. I did this and went out today and had the same problen on all 22 channels and 8 repeater channels. I did hear CX but everything else is static, so I'm sending in for them to look at it. Going to fire up my Btech 50 watt tomorrow and see what I can get.
  16. My channel is dietxanadu (type it into search bar)
  17. Stopped the Corner Cottage for my BK burrito and a little GMRS time. Had my wouxun 20 watt mobile setup and WOW super static on all channels unless volumm set at #1. As I'm getting my power from the cigar lighter (car engine is on) I wonder if that is where the static is coming from. I was even getting static on my Ht Radioddity GM-30. Going to try getting power from a Jackery power box to see if that is a fix.
  18. I should be able to hit it from 3500 ft up in the Angles Naion Forest. My fav stop is facing southeast (210 east/15 north). ?
  19. I'm trying to get on Not a Rubicon 700. It list DPL/DCS transmit tone of 271 or D271N with a recieve ton of 073 or D073N. But my wouxun radio wont dial in those numbers at least from the the TX - DTC menu
  20. Setting the squelch to level 1, would apply to all cannels?
  21. For the Love of God, I'm so total tired of playing with the anytone radio. If you would like this radio it is yours, if not i will be using it in a Drop Test video. Greg
