  1. The uv-5r is not part 95 certified and is therefore illegal on GMRS. The GMRS-V2 is. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  2. The BTECH GMRS-V2 isn't bad. I love the fact you can program any GMRS frequency into any channel position and delete those you don't want to.use. Their flexibility is a strong selling point. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  3. I'm not saying they stopped selling them. I'm saying they aren't as popular anymore. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

  5. Here is one site mentionioning it https://hamgear.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/wouxun-reliability-issues/ Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  6. I would suggest you do a Google search. Like I previously mentioned, I had three. All three failed. Companies constantly have products with design flaws and fail to acknowledge them. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  7. That's because you are probably a newcomer. This issue existed 10 years ago. The uvd1p has gone by the wayside as other radios have become more popular. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  8. I hope they all go away. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  9. They have a suicide chip.that will.fail and render the radio useless. All 3 of mine failed. Maybe they fixed the issue by now. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  10. The uvd1p units (had?) Have a "suicide chip" that will.fail and render the radio useless. It has something to do with read write cycles to nvram. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  11. I've always opposed them. GMRS is designed for families and small groups to communicate locally. Of course, now that the FCC has finally, definitely, ruled linked repeaters illegal, we can now see a return to sanity. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  12. And that is a good thing. The FCC will be aware of what's going on and will adjust...slowly....to meet our needs....maybe, hopefully. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  13. Long standing tradition. You will find amateur protocol follows traditional operating procedures. Some repeater owners forbid cb lingo on their systems. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  14. The H8 has a 10.watt output per a watt meter. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
