I just got one about 2 weeks ago. I blame it on everyone here. Lots of enablers on here. They will tell you it's the best thing since sliced bread..... it's not expensive, get it...... what's one more radio going to hurt...... I love it more than all my other radios..... And they're all correct! Listen, this radio is more advanced than I am. It's got some channel wizard thing and some tone scan thing. It's got more features than I'll ever use, but it is pretty sweet. I mean, it's not expensive and one more isn't going to hurt. I kinda like it better than all my other radios.

@WSEZ864 I applaud you for helping your friend. Sometimes it feels like there just aren't enough good friends anymore.

yeah I could see that, but yes. I'm always logged into both sites. @WRUU653 I do have access to posting in the classifieds and can create a radio club. Guys I think we've beat this horse to death.

I couldn't be commenting with my account if I wasn't logged in....

ad block for chrome. I'll try ublock

as you can see, installing an ad-blocker still doesn't work. The radio advert on the right side is persistent through repeaters, map and contact tabs. The advert on the bottom of the map only shows up on the map.

I don't feel like I was given bad advice. I think it's just an issue with the site. I am on a desktop. If I'm on this site, the majority of the time I'm on my laptop. I can certainly ad an ad-blocking extension. I don't think I should have to. The site should automatically remove the ads.

@SteveShannon @tcp2525 Guys, it will be ok. I wasn't trying to cause a raucous. Correct, I didn't ask "how" to get rid of the ads because it is promoted as a feature of Premium membership. As far as I knew, those weren't removable. If it's just a hick-up with the site, no problem. I agree, I shouldn't have to change browsers or install any add-ons. I have helped in getting approval to have @WSFN475's repeater installed at my hospital. I've bought a KG-1000G and J Pole antenna from a member here and I'm looking forward to getting my base station up and running. Found out one of our officers on the fire dept is licensed in GMRS and working on convincing a fellow firefighter he needs to join in GMRS. This website is an invaluable tool in increasing my knowledge of all things GMRS, so a Premium membership is a good investment for me. I appreciate you guys offering assistance, but please don't get angry with each other.

Yes, still seeing ads. I use the Chrome browser

@WSDE521 where do you stand with your base radio setup?

I have never used the Radiodity software. I've only used Chirp and Wouxun software. Doesn't sound very user-friendly

Good catch. I'm used to programming my own custom channels and leave the standard channels like they are.

It looks good to me. Have you tried setting the Difference Feq Direction to +5 ? Part of me says that shouldn't matter since the TX freq is already set appropriately.

Video for Baofeng "Some People" think their radios are junk and this video is "right to the point"

Both in/out should be D131N as far as I know. I don't use the Radiodity software so, make sure you're setting the TX to +5 for the offset. Some programs like Chirp, you have to enter the correct offset in the specific column. Some software like the Wouxun has the TX colum where you just pick the correct TX freq. Even then if you "fat finger" it, you can set the wrong TX freq by accident. Uploading a screenshot of your program will help too
