I’ll feel free to let everyone go to the page you linked, read it in its entirety and discover for themselves how you are talking through your hat! But be sure not to miss out on the sentence just previous to your quoted sentence: Remember you said: The misconception appears to be on your part!

Your opinion or please cite its factual underpinings?!

It's like sex: if you have a one-way conversation; you'll go blind! ?

Whatever other rule might prohibit the communication cited in the OP’s example, it is not a “one-way” communication.

I believe that goes for “testing” too.

YES! Whether they would prevail at trial is another question, but do you have the resources to defend such an action? Here in Los Angeles, we remember in the 80s, a discount fashion clothiers opening a small chain of stores named Sacks Fifth Off! (owned by David Sacks). He was sued by Saks Fifth Avenue and entered into a settlement to stop using that trade name. UPDATE: And a Chinese food restaurant in Studio City, City Wok, sued Universal City Studios, after it opened its massive retail shopping/dining facility on its property: City Walk and WON! The judge ruled that it must always be referred to as Universal City Walk! And some guy took Nipper and made him his very own California registered service mark ( ? )

Apparently the authors of CHIRP are offended by some GMRS guy on YouTube who keeps referring to "Sad Hams" so they are not motivated to link to a GMRS website! ?

I don't know much about the myGMRS Network, but I have downloaded Zello on my iPhone, so that I can both hear and talk on the Ranchino 700 Repeater, out of my transmitting zone, in the Inland Empire of California. It works really well!

WELCOME BACK! ? I have read many of your well thought out posts and wondered where you went...

I think this falls under the Common Law rule: I once tried an experiment where I transmitted on 2 meters and the responding party transmitted on MURS! Sounds like fun to ME!

Did you lose your sense of humor during your absence?!? ?

It's $450 without the mic! ?

Do the maths for me if I want to transmit 5 MHz apart on say: 25 MHz (12 meters) and 30 MHz (10 meters). Still want to shorten the antenna by the percentage difference? Of course you wouldn't... Remember, I was responding to your original post: I'm just pointing out that the 5MHz difference is not linear in antenna maths... This emoticon, provided by this forum, "?" is generally understood to be used to denote a joke... Oh, OLDradioguy! ??

Do you travel to the Sonol region? I do not think you will be able to hit it from Manteca.

Thank you for that attempt, but version 2.01 of the Anytone AT-779UV software will not open your file: While some file extensions are compatible with each other (such as csv), dat files are generic data files that can follow different internal rules.

Thank you for these charts, but I am not sure what you are hoping to add to our discussion: The AT-778 and the AT-779 are two completely different radios. Are you suggesting that the software for the 778 has import/export features and can be used with the 779?

You want to drive from City A to City B in one hour; they are 100 miles apart. You drive one half of the distance at 50 miles per hour. What speed must you drive the remaining half to arrive within the one hour time limit? A. 200 miles per hour B. 100 miles per hour C. 75 miles per hour D. Some maths are not linear! Let's return to the situation at hand. You point out (that the start of) the GMRS band is 462 MHz. Now M is an abbreviation of Mega and Hz is an abbreviation of Hurts, so GMRS at 462 MHz really bad pain if you touch the wrong exposed wires! ? But in reality 462 MHz is 0.65 centimeters and 467 MHz is 0.64 centimeters, and antenna maths are not necessarily linear either! ?

It is a common myth that Apple stole the Macintosh (and its earlier financial failure, the LISA) from Xerox. The media has continued to perpetrate this myth. In three or four sentences of history: Xerox was the dominant "copy machine" company in the world and in the early 1970s they worried about "the paperless office of the future." So they hired top engineers at its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) to design the technologies of the future. But by the late 70s, it became clear to Xerox that the "paperful office" was not going away and they had no appetite to exploit ANY of the technologies that were developed at PARC. At this point entered Steve Jobs, who, in return for an investment in the still private Apple Computers, allowed Jobs and a select few of Apple's engineers to see the family jewels over two trips. It is estimated that Xerox' purchase of Apple stock would be would be worth $1.2 billion back in 2018 (and Apple stock has at least tripled since 2018). Not a bad return on investment for a company that got "flat out rip(ped) off!

No, and I am not aware of any hack for the GM-30 or its clone, the Pofung P15UV to open them up

Or stimulate it! ?

1%? Where do you calculate that from?

Yes, I have done that twice now: 1) The first time I acquired my AT-779UV and built a codeplug; and 2) After some growth in various repeaters I now have access to, and additions to the various categories, I rebuilt my codeplug but this time left blank lines between categories. Since I have one also in my car, now I tend to manually insert a new channel into each machine (including an alphanumeric name) and also add it to the codeplug, to save the hassle of unscrewing it from the cup-holder mount in my car and bringing it upstairs to program. I built a somewhat shorter version for the PAPA System group's members to be able to download and I know of at least two members who have use it and grown from my start. I am still hoping that someone like @WyoJoewill find a better solution for us! He is the one who told me that I could use the updated Radioddity firmware and programming software for its GM-30 in my clone, the Pofung P15UV, which I originally purchased to be able to scan for tones. I subsequently gave it to my 10 year old grandson, in place of his FRS Motos. I now use instead the TYT-UV88 which is another GM-30 clone, but it is a ham radio that can also be opened to GMRS, MURS, etc and even can use CHIRP to copy/paste program and then refine the programming with its own programming software.

Can’t we do FM at 28.450 MHz with a finger in our mouths so it sounds like SSB? ?

Thank you @WyoJoebut it seems that your copy/paste tip is limited to copying from and pasting back into the Radioddity/Anytone software itself. I downloaded CHIRP into my Windows environment and my attempts to copy from a previous CHIRP file and then paste into the Radioddity software have not been successful. I also exported from CHIRP into a "csv" file, modified this text file to match the columns in the Radioddity CPS software and then attempted to copy/paste without any luck either. Radioddity CPS continues to only recognize the last "copy" from within its own program, even after I have successfully done a copy in CHIRP or the csv file.

Let's move this DB20-G (AT-779UV) discussion to a new thread I have created here.
