    Most repeater owners and users will tell.you to turn off the beep. Its annoying and unnecessary. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    As long as you use the Abbree brand, you'll see some performance improvements. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    I do. If I want to converse with strangers, that's what the amateur bands are for. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    The uv5r is not fcc certified for gmrs use and is therefore illegal on GMRS. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Fcc regulations have the power of law behind them. It's called the Communications Act. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    I use a 20 watt radio as my home radio. Works great. Power does not need to be 50 watts to be effective Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Word is the FCC is going after more linked systems. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    No. The reason being that it's illegal for one radio to be used on the amateur bands and GMRS. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    A true factory reset requires loading in the programming file that was installed on the radio. You should always download from a new radio and save it away for situations such as this. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    The BTECH GMRS 20-V2 is a 20 watt radio with a cig lighter plug. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Many folks, however, actually believe the actual watts increase. I was trying to clarify thar. I consider your answer above to be valid. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    You answered your own question. An amplifier is a transmitter which requires FCC certification. I care because I don't want GMRS to turn into 27 Mhz. There are too.many CBers already on GMRS trying to ruin it. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    The FCC is always right. Mostly..... Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
