I noticed that the FCC regulations for GMRS under Digital Transitions state that "The antenna must be a non-removable integral part of the GMRS unit." Since the Btech GMRS Pro is capable of location signaling and short messages and has a detachable antenna. Doesn't this make them illegal? I hope I am reading this wrong because these are popular radios.

Newbie - High SWR on KB9VBR Slim Jim
WRKG321 replied to dpslusser's question in Technical Discussion
That antenna is hung from the top. Is your mast non conducting? If the antenna is against a conductive mast, it can cause problems. I only ask because I have seen this before. -
I am interested in Mexico immediately but a list of countries (if any) that consider a US license legal would be good. Also are the radios legal?

Sounds like a sick radio. If the power supply is holding and you have a good test rig, I would be looking at a warranty return. I hate that you are having this trouble.

I have to ask. You are using a dummy load right? If you have a antennal problem that produces high SWR most modern radios reduce power to protect the final amp.

For the most part, I agree with most of the posts that UHF/VHF FM is technically similar to GMRS. The license will allow you sun to do far more then just UHF/VHF FM if he wants to get into it. When he gets his General license, he will be able to do HF. This is a whole different world. I suggest that you get involved with a local club. They should be happy to help.
