  1. Got it. Thank you! I contacted the owner so hopefully I'll hear back.
  2. I hope you do! I'm just north of the Parmer/Mopac intersection a block behind the old Fry's. I can pick up the Flintrock Hill repeater pretty well. Every Monday morning I look at the gmrs ema
  3. I hope you do! I'm just north of the Parmer/Mopac intersection a block behind the old Fry's. I can pick up the Flintrock Hill repeater pretty well. Every Monday morning I look at the gmrs email with the list of new repeaters and hope someone adds a good one to this area.
  4. Thank you. That helped me get pointed in the right direction. After some digging around I found that the #6 button switches it back to channel mode - sort of. It still doesn't look the same as it did, but it sort of still works. I should never have used the software to change the settings. By the way, when using the software it made my monitor all blurry. For anyone else who comes across this look at this:
  5. And now what? Once I pulled the cord out all I see on the screen is A side: 430.12500 B side: 144.12500. Nothing I do seems to get back to the regular screen. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I don't want to make things worse by changing any settings.
  6. I want to set up a mobile radio as a base station with an antenna on the roof. How would I go about grounding this? I'm having a hard time finding anything that isn't extremely technical. I could just avoid using it during bad weather, only putting it up when there is no chance of a storm, but part of the reason I want it is for emergencies - most of which in Central Texas involve storms. I'm thinking about getting the Wouxun KG-1000G and Tram 1486 Base Antenna Somebody must have already worked this out! I sent an email to BuyTwoWayRadios customer service last week. I mentioned that as soon as I get the safety info I need I'll be placing an order. Usually, they have lightening fast response times on their customer service emails. I'm shocked I haven't heard back by now. Not sure why their customer service guys are not discharging their duties as technical helpers but maybe they have gone on strike.
  7. Yep, good advice for sure, and that's always been my strategy. Just admit I'm lost and listen up to the people with experience. I have expertise in a few areas, but not this one. Yet. john
  8. Thank you all for the advice and info. I will try some of this out as soon as I get a chance!
  9. I have my gmrs license and a pair of WouxunKG-805 radios. I have asked for, and received, permission to use a couple of local repeaters. I have watched a bunch of YouTube videos about repeaters, and I get the general concept. The problem is the frequency numbers I received from the repeater owners don't make any sense to me. One sent me this: "PL Tones (CTCSS): 74.7Hz" I only see a 74.4Hz option. Another sent me "DPL 411 for both Rx and Tx. " When I hook up the radio to the computer to dig into it I can't see anything like 411. Does anyone know of a good "GMRS Repeaters for Luddite Dumbasses" video that can help me figure out how to make this thing work? Any help is much appreciated!
