  1. No. Totally different companies Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  2. True Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  3. They do. But some older commercial equipment got both part 90 and part 95 certified. Now manufacturers are too lazy to get both. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  4. Frs is handheld only Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  5. There is no such thing Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  6. Most repeater owners and users will tell.you to turn off the beep. Its annoying and unnecessary. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  7. My radio of choice is the BTECH GMRS-20V2. Fully Programmable channels with unlimited flexibility. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  8. As long as you use the Abbree brand, you'll see some performance improvements. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  9. I do. If I want to converse with strangers, that's what the amateur bands are for. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  10. The uv5r is not fcc certified for gmrs use and is therefore illegal on GMRS. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  11. Fcc regulations have the power of law behind them. It's called the Communications Act. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  12. 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
  13. Word is the FCC is going after more linked systems. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  14. I have the BTECH. Nice radio. I haven't experienced any rx/TX issues. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. The BTECH GMRS 20-V2 is a 20 watt radio with a cig lighter plug. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. The FCC is always right. Mostly..... Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  21. Broken link Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  22. 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
  23. Negative. See the first reply to my comment. His explanation is spot on. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  24. Gain does NOT increase your ERP! Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  25. There are no Part 95 certified amplifiers for gmrs; therefore illegal. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
