  1. No good buddy beeps unless you want to find yourself with no one to talk to. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  2. DPMR 446 operates in the 70cm amateur band in the USA. An amateur radio license is required to operate there. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  3. ISM radios are limited by power and antenna type. You'll have about 3/4 of a mile coverage. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  4. Leave it as is. You'll be fine. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  5. You require a DMR ID to access amateur radio networks. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  6. The BTECH 25x4 uses HT finals, overdriven to 20 watts or so. My UHF went out on mine. I still use it for 220. It also has memory issues now, that I finally got ironed out. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  7. You cannot use ham repeaters without a ham license, period. You must reprogram the radio to frequencies you are legally licensed to use. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  8. Mine has been working great over 2 years. I'd write btech for an exchange if it doesn't work after a cool down. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  9. No. Totally different companies Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  10. True Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  11. 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
  12. Frs is handheld only Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  13. There is no such thing Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  14. Most repeater owners and users will tell.you to turn off the beep. Its annoying and unnecessary. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  15. My radio of choice is the BTECH GMRS-20V2. Fully Programmable channels with unlimited flexibility. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  16. As long as you use the Abbree brand, you'll see some performance improvements. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  17. I do. If I want to converse with strangers, that's what the amateur bands are for. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  18. The uv5r is not fcc certified for gmrs use and is therefore illegal on GMRS. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  19. Fcc regulations have the power of law behind them. It's called the Communications Act. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  20. 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
  21. Word is the FCC is going after more linked systems. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  22. I have the BTECH. Nice radio. I haven't experienced any rx/TX issues. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. The BTECH GMRS 20-V2 is a 20 watt radio with a cig lighter plug. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
