    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

    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

    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

    I'm not saying they stopped selling them. I'm saying they aren't as popular anymore. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

    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

    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

    I hope they all go away. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    20....as it has always been. Plus, 19 cannot be used north of Line A. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

    I've found my knock off of the btech uhf amplifier puts out 46 watts on gmrs. I got the model compatible with dmr for amateur use. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

    You are basically making a one way transmission. Your conversation is split between 2 services. One way communications are forbidden by regulations. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

    I also don't want anyone to take it personally. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

    I'm extremely grateful for your local repeater and the amateur repeaters. They are a definite benefit for both services. I've always viewed GMRS as a local mode of communication. If I want to talk longer distance, then my amateur license comes into play. Don't let me ruin your day. It's not worth it Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

    On this linked network. I.hear the same people over and over again going on and on for seemingly hours on end. Always..the same 10 or so.people in different combinations. Then, on a rare quiet moment, someone not a part of their clique gives their call, most of the time they go unanswered. What a waste of percious frequency spectrum.

    Sometimes equipment falls thru the cracks. The testing lab assigns the FCC ID and just forwards all the test reports to the FCC. Sometimes, the test labs certify equipment that is in violation. The FCC eventually catches the error and yanks the certification . Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
