    You sure you are not simulating nuclear weapons? Those are serious mushroom clouds.

    I settled for a dual-band antenna that performs excellent on 2M/70CM and good enough on GMRS. A switch sounds like a good alternative, I may look into this...

    For years, my father designed and oversaw development of the top jet fighter IN THE WORLD, and to this day he refuses to read a manual for anything. I just sent him a Blu-Ray player, and he asked me to hook it up next time I visit. IT'S ONE HDMI CABLE. And his planes are still winning dogfights fifty years later. I give up.

    Instead of a new radio, I suggest a chainsaw. Done and done!

    Probably best to avoid the one named BARF...

    I see that my Nagoya UT-72G GMRS antenna does not have a coil, but my Tram 1181 VHF/UHF antenna does. Hmm...

    Both of my Wouxun radios pull in NOAA just fine. No reason, if my existing radios pull in NOAA just fine.

    I keep hearing "I don't want to have to carry two radios while doing an outdoor activity, while traveling, whatever..." Two radios are not heavy. Also, you get the benefit if having tuned antennas for each, instead of one that might be almost good enough. If you don't want two radios, good for you. I think it makes me more attractive to the chicks to have two on my belt clips.

    Yep, GMRS offset is always +5 to my knowledge.

    I've had it. WSAA635 is on my ignore list lol

    I have the UV-17R Pro GPS. It's okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it. The only real useful feature is the GPS for me.

    Other than GMRS (462/467), what do you need the rest of this band for? I ask because I can't think of what else is in there, besides maybe business radios?

    I refuse to pay more than $12.99 for a Creedence Clearwater Revival album.

    Are you following the instructions for the RT87 but the repeater is an RT97?
  15. back4more70
    Not legally, the low power is way too high for MURS. I was just testing to see what it would do.

    I have the Retevis RA25, which is pretty much the DB-20G I believe. Great little radio. Here is my data into a dummy load.

    @OffRoaderX Randy, I think this message is for you

    Thank you all, I guess the magnetic part was irrelevant, since it would be sitting on a desk or the ground.

    I have a magnet-mount UT-72G antenna that requires a ground plane. It works well on top of my car roof (steel). I have used it with some success on a cookie sheet as well. I'm wondering, would a sheet of aluminum foil function as a ground plane? I'm not serious about doing this, but I wonder if it would be passable?

    Download from where?
  21. back4more70
    You know what happens.
  22. back4more70
    There is no 462.500 in GMRS use?
  23. back4more70
    Unlikely.
  24. back4more70
    I did some sleuthing, he is merely a latent Sad H.A.M., and in my ignore list already lol
  25. back4more70
    Well, it is a GMRS radio, so not sure if that is a negative or just an inconvenience.
