Well, there is a risk of an unlicensed person getting on the zello channel and using the repeater. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

There is a new family on one of the shared frequencies. That isn't a big deal. All I've heard recently. Fortunately, I rarely listen to those...they lean on the call tone too much. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

I forgot to listen....May have to listen later and call out saying I'll talk to any licensed GMRS operators. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

Well, just buy them and use them. The FCC ID is on them. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

V1 as in number 1....not I. The cut n paste didn't translate well...sorry. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

It was assumed the OP has one. It can also be googled....but here it is: 2AGND-GMRS-VI AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

I no longer post sources, as people still don't believe me after I do the hard work of researching for them. What you need to do is Google "FCC ID search" and then enter the FCC ID of your radio where it asks for it. You can then display the FCC Grant. It is all there for everyone to read. If you are diligent enough in your research, you can even find the correspondence from the FCC rejecting the radio's 5 watt application and their order for them to not market this radio, if it exceeds 2 watts. I'm not attacking...I'm simply reporting what is public information. Responsible *licensees* welcome such 8ninformation, in order to assist them in operating legally. Don't attack the messenger.

I'm hunting no one. I'm stating the truth. Anyone can go read FCC correspondence. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

Either that or he was checking for any spurious emissions on vhf. If that radio can be unlocked, then it further violates it's FCC certification. You may as well use a Baofeng uv82 AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

But only approved for 2 watts output. Their 5 watt application was denied. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

"Any radio station" under the rule part in which the phrase appears. For part 95, it would be any other part 95 GMRS station. Service rules do not cross services. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

Some require an application be filled out and a fee paid, also. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

Science experiments can be fun

You need an external antenna, tuned for GMRS...on both radios. The rubber ducks are poor radiators. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

I reported a school for using GMRS. A violation notice was issued. It's important to have a known physical location, times they are on the air, etc. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All posted content is personal opinion only and may not imply fact or accusation.

I have a daughter who has friends in radio range. Radios are very handy. She gets tongue tied on the callsign a LOT though

Thank you very much for your detailed review-

The mygmrs database is woefully inaccurate at times, since there is no way to correct or remove invalid data. Maybe the OP could postal mail the owner, providing contact info. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All comments are personal opinion only and may not imply actual fact.

FRS is part 95B, not 95A. 95A is GMRS. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All comments are personal opinion only and may not imply actual fact.

Likely a typo. I've seen nothing indicating further fee increases. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All comments are personal opinion only and may not imply actual fact.

Yep. Sound great. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All comments are personal opinion only and may not imply actual fact.

Just log into your FCC ULS account and make the change. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All comments are personal opinion only and may not indicate a claim of actual fact.

I just got a pair. Factory software is ok. Not a lot going on with these radios. Just don't switch to a channel with nothing programmed....you'll get a loud, annoying tone , until you switch channels. They really aren't a bad deal.

No. These frequencies are not legal for simplex comms. AntiSquid Disclaimer: All comments are personal opinion only and may not indicate a claim of actual fact.
