  1. You don't Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  2. You were just told you aren't allowed to. That radio has no modifications available. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. MDC "whacker tone" Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  7. Probably nothing. But today's wod today kids is integrity. Following the rules anyway. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. I'm not saying they stopped selling them. I'm saying they aren't as popular anymore. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk

  12. Here is one site mentionioning it https://hamgear.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/wouxun-reliability-issues/ Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. I hope they all go away. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. The H8 has a 10.watt output per a watt meter. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  22. 20....as it has always been. Plus, 19 cannot be used north of Line A. Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk
  23. 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
  24. 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
