What difference does it make anyway?

This is what I see when I click on it:

Hmm, no problem for me. You're not on my ignore list or I wouldn't see your post..... Maybe I'm on yours and you chose to read that post (?) Maybe that link was on an earlier post when I couldn't figure out how to place my avatar...... Maybe it's too early and I not fully coffied up yet

Not with mine, my GM21 works just fine - it does what it should -- so does my UV21. Your problem description is a bit vague......what are you trying to do??

Moe: Oh, look a microphonie Curley: and a phony at the mic (nyuk nyuk nyuk)

Or maybe some outriggers

Good for speeds up to 5 mph!

I had a UV5-G that had no xmit on ch 15 - I contacted the seller and he sent me a firmware fix that corrected it......xmit and rcv on ch 15 now ok. I like those lil uv5s, I have both amateur and gmrs versions with large batteries, I use them for extended scanning times. I have both the amateur and gmrs uv21s and use them more now, and have access to another dead ham band (1.25m).

Was it the signal strength? Or, was it not talking where the mic input is? That would make for low audio and a bad signal reception. Don't hold it like it is a phone, you may not be getting to the mic loud enough.

Hey, I was 'jus messin' witcha' man I didn't even think of the 2 way radios that may have been used --- some of them are dirt cheap and so easy to get

So where's this going?

Duh!

What's that got to do with elections? FCC positions are appointed are they not? I am so sick of election coverage and all the baloney from both sides on the air and other 'news stations'. 2 year presidential election campaigns make me want to puke and in the end it's all lies anyway. I have election fatigue and wish it was all over and done with. I'm not 'picking sides' here and what I do is my business in the voting booth. Trying not to be political here, but really, enough is enough!

I was in SF during the Loma Prieta earthquake in '89. Working for the telco, at the time, I had some repair jobs on Treasure Island. The Bay Bridge collapse was on the Oakland side and although the bridge was closed to through traffic, the suspension span was open to Yerba Buena and Treasure Island. Only the far right lane was open and when I went over it, my telco van was the only vehicle on it.....going and coming back into the City. That felt a little strange since it was usually very busy. Pac Bell never went down, only too many people trying to get dial tone caused people to think the systems were down. Afterwords we had dozens of no dial tone tickets that were 'found ok'. There was a strong one in SF in '57 too --- I was 5yrs old........I wonder if Jerry Lee Lewis' "whole lotta shakin goin on" was inspired by that since it was written at that time.

Both eyes open now......and I see a typo on my last post here. Win 7 will not run the latest version of CHIRP for me...... On topic, I sure hope all those folks affected by them hurricanes can get back to some form of normal life soon. Being from CA, I would rather deal with an earthquake any day over a tornado or hurricane.
