    You seem troubled. You previously described something that by your own admission “used to work” or requires using a compiler. It’s far easier to just run a report to generate the CSV file in a method officially provided by the owner. Premium membership is a small price for such convenience.

    Premium members of this site can generate reports in CSV format using whatever search combination they want. As far as I know that’s only available to premium members and the only way to export data.

    To be fully compliant, yes and yes. Most people don’t.

    If you’re using a GMRS radio the regulations require you to identify every 15 minutes when talking and when you stop talking. For most people that really only requires you to say your call sign once at the end of the conversation. There are no FRS channels that are not also GMRS channels.

    Those are not inclusive endpoints to a GMRS band. The only frequencies you are allowed to transmit on with your GMRS license are specified in the regulations: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-95/subpart-E/section-95.1763
  25. SteveShannon
    463.200 is not a GMRS frequency. The MXT500 is a GMRS radio. Midland is pretty good about abiding by the GMRS frequency requirements. It’s highly unlikely you will be able to transmit on any non-GMRS frequency.

    Yes, but it’s not crucial; use whatever thickness he has.

    Antenna

    SteveShannon replied to a topic in Guest Forum

    They should not affect each other significantly. Edited to add: Mount one above the other rather than on the same level.
  30. SteveShannon
    That’s only true if the only people who use it are operating under the owners license. If any other license holders use it then it must identify. Obviously that’s not the case here because MrSig has asked if others can check and see if they can access his repeater. But I don’t understand why anyone would go to the expense to add a Repeater ID to their repeater but not have it actually ID their repeater.
  31. SteveShannon
    Actually, no, the rule is that GMRS communications may not be placed onto a network. That extrapolated into not linking repeaters.
  32. SteveShannon
    Did you not include the call sign?
  33. SteveShannon
    Exactly. The only time a person might be cited is if they do something really egregious (like monkeying around with public safety communications) and these violations are tacked on.
  34. SteveShannon
    You asked why they’re resistant to disclosing the height of their antenna? Good job! What did they say?
  35. SteveShannon
    Ask when you request access. Also, when testing, plan to drive closer to the repeater until you definitely know you’re hitting it.
