  1. Great info Steve and radioguy - thank you for clarifying. For the way I'm planning to use the radio, I think I'm OK. I had heard a similar warning about reflashing of the LS models, and that it doesn't always work as intended -- not applicable to my situation but good to know. My two 1250s are eBay finds, but have always been Conventional only -- and I try to keep my tinkering in CPS to the bare minimum required to load 'em up with relevant freqs. I've also learned the "Use a RIB box and the right cabling or you'll brick your radio" lesson the hard way once already. Thanks.
  2. I find this thread interesting, because whenever I've looked into getting my CDM1250 (UHF) into service on the GMRS spectrum, I've come away uncertain whether it's kosher/legal to do so. Right now it's programmed for several local Amateur repeaters in my area but I've got loads of Personalities free. Is the CDM1250 type-approved for use as a GMRS base station? Isn't the minimum power output too high? Some of the answers above suggest that it's totally fine, and if it is, awesome. I also understand that some take the "If you don't get caught, why worry" attitude around questions like this, but -- speaking only for myself, and no judgment here -- "you do you," but I don't share that view. Thanks.
