So is mine. iPhone 13. But I’m not using Tapatalk. I gave it up several years ago. Now I just use Safari. See if you can see the photos in Safari.

It did for me. Perhaps your device can’t reproduce it.

Most of the people he calls sad hams walk right into it. If you take the time to understand what he’s saying you might even agree. Yup, sometimes he has gone against the grain but for the most part he’s helpful.

156 DPL is in your radio. Your radio calls it Privacy Code #63. As Kenny said you have to look at the page in the manual for the DCS and then select the Privacy Code that corresponds to the DCS. The “Privacy Code” is in the left column and the DCS is listed in the right column:

I’ve been wondering if my Yaesu HF radio can have a Roger beep added.

He doesn’t have a magic wand. Or He doesn’t know why you can’t hit the repeater (you’ve given no details). Or You’re not his favorite viewer? What kind of challenges do you have in reaching the repeater? What’s the terrain like? What about vegetation? Do you have the right tone for transmitting?

It must be a turkey cooking reference: full of stuffing.

Roger

Yes

Nope, there are a lot of us here who feel exactly the same way. You just got to your keyboard first and you said it very well.

That’s right, after no updates for a period of time a repeater is marked as stale. It doesn’t mean the repeater doesn’t exist.

I believe it means they found one of your posts or comments and then signed up for the site. Because your post or comment may have been instrumental in motivating them to join you have been notified. It’s sort of a pat on the back. It’s much better than discovering that someone read something you wrote and blocked the site. Good job helping the site grow!

But there is a Technical Discussion forum already; it’s just not limited to repeaters. https://forums.mygmrs.com/forum/3-technical-discussion/

Some people use an adapter to use their external antennas with their handhelds when they’re in a vehicle. Noise on a mobile radio when moving can be caused by vibration exacerbating a poor connection somewhere in the feedline to the antenna or the antenna or mount, or by a bad power or ground connection leading to the radio (as well as other connections). Try hooking you external antenna up to the handheld and go for a drive. If the noise occurs then you have reason to suspect the feedline or antenna mount. Otherwise inspect how you power your radio. And maybe the radio itself is just affected by vibration. While operating stationary try shaking the radio to see if the problem occurs. Finally, don’t discount picket fencing. Good luck!

You don’t. But get ready for a raft of shit.

What exactly would be the purpose of a repeater forum? Would it be limited to people who have repeaters? Would it exist solely to answer questions about repeater configuration or would it become a catch all for every question someone has about using repeaters? Probably half of the posts in MyGMRS have something to do with repeaters. If they all end up in the one forum, I’m not sure what the effect would be. It would be different if there had been a repeater forum from the beginning but there wasn’t. Im not against it; I just don’t understand how it would work.

Unless you work for the same employer as Flashover52, gortex2’s suggestion of a Google sheet is really a good suggestion.

There was a very familiar dog taking a dump in the video I saw. It was a good video.

Welcome to the forums!

I found this on Reddit. A person accidentally enabled the password without actually setting it. It turned out that the default was 000000:

$18 or $27 is still too much to pay for a paperweight. Let’s try to help the guy figure out the problem.

If there’s truly a password. As I said, the manual doesn’t mention one. Perhaps he simply locked the keyboard. Or maybe the manual is poor.

An amplifier is a transmitter and transmitters sold for the GMRS service are required to be certified for part 95e.

The manual doesn’t mention a password. Are you sure you entered a password? Resetting the radio is menu 40. https://fccid.io/2AJGM-P15UV/User-Manual/User-Manual-5201622
