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

    My radio of choice is the BTECH GMRS-20V2. Fully Programmable channels with unlimited flexibility. 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

    I have the BTECH. Nice radio. I haven't experienced any rx/TX issues. 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

    There are no more watts emitting from the antenna. A 25 watt signal is still.25 watts, regardless of antenna design. Gain just indicates how that power is used. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Negative. See the first reply to my comment. His explanation is spot on. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    Gain does NOT increase your ERP! Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    There are no Part 95 certified amplifiers for gmrs; therefore illegal. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    You don't Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    You were just told you aren't allowed to. That radio has no modifications available. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    The FCC doesn't assign the FCC ID and certify the radio. The testing labs do. The test report goes on file with the FCC. The FCC has later gone and pulled certification on some radios that were later found to be illegal. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    FRS radios must have a permanently attached antenna and have a 2 watt maximum output power. Anything else is illegal. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk

    If you want APRS, get an amateur license and quit trying to make GMRS into something it wasn't meant to be. All you people wanting to turn GMRS into a clone of amateur radio need to just get their licenses. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
