Take the antenna off the meter.

But each channel has an allotted bandwidth.

4. It depends on what’s changed and what you mean by no longer a GMRS radio. 5. No 6. Many, maybe most.

3. Scrambling isn’t blessed by the fcc regulations but neither should it result in an FM frequency shift outside of the bandwidth allotment.

2. The frequencies used for CTCSS tones are mostly standard but some radios don’t have all of them.

1. So you are asking about transmitting on one of the channels not set aside for transmitting to repeaters and receiving on another. Like 462.550 and 462.675? There’s no prohibition against that but it needlessly ties up two channels.

Once you’re a member of mygmrs, go to the club directory and go to the club you want to join. Then click on the button.

The new question pool is already available to download for free. But honestly if you learn and understand the concepts in the old test you should be able to pass the new test. The concepts haven’t changed.

Gigaparts has the 712efc in stock for $130: https://www.gigaparts.com/comet-ca-712efc-460-470mhz-base-repeater-antenna.html

Are you on a repeater channel? You will hear the repeater on the 15-22 channels but you won’t be able to transmit to the repeater. Those channels are setup for simplex and don’t allow an offset. Channels 23-30 (or whatever they’re called on the uv5g) will have the offset.

A hi-lift jack.

Yes, even though it is not magnetic as long as your antenna base is on it it can work as a ground plane. Check to make sure that the hole in the microphone is clear and speak closely to it. We had one guy that was very quiet and he discovered that the mic hole was plugged. Putting the antenna outside could also help.

Or buy from one of their dealers.

Congratulations!

What are the current requirements during receive and transmit? What duty cycle do you require? What do you consider a “good run time?” How do you intend to provide the two different dc voltages from a 12 volt battery?

A review of the CD-48 charger, which is currently available on Amazon, indicates that it is interchangeable with the CD-46: Standard Horizon CD-48 Charge Cradle F/hx380 https://a.co/d/cZeF0R7

The cradle is CD-46. When available it’s sold separately. It’s apparently in poor supply. I couldn’t find one available. The charger for 110 volts AC is NC90b. It’s available.

Assuming you don’t need the cradle, but just the charger: Accessory USA AC Battery Charger for Yaesu Vertex Standard NC-88B PA-44B NC90B PA48B https://a.co/d/iChxhm1

Based on this white paper I believe you would want DC Block:

I just misunderstood your first post.

Oh, you’re talking about Repeaterbook. None of us here can help you. I thought you were talking about this site. (Sorry Rich!)

I don’t blame you for being frustrated. I’ll report your post so Rich sees it. He’s the only one who can help. I hope it helps.

Four letters followed by three numbers: in your case WSBZ540. Are you possibly putting in an O instead of a 0?

Turtle shells disrupt radio waves.

DMR is emission type FXE for voice and FXD for data, but the FCC constrains GMRS to the following: 95.1771 GMRS emission types. Each GMRS transmitter type must be designed to satisfy the emission capability rules in this section. Operation of GMRS stations must also be in compliance with these rules. (a) Each GMRS transmitter type must have the capability to transmit F3E or G3E emissions. (b) Only emission types A1D, F1D, G1D, H1D, J1D, R1D, A3E, F3E, G3E, H3E, J3E, R3E, F2D, and G2D are authorized for use in the GMRS. Equipment for which certification is sought under this subpart may have capabilities to transmit other emission types intended for use in other services, provided that these emission types can be deactivated when the equipment is used in the GMRS.
