    I have no experience with APRS, so not a deal breaker for me. And the manual says it has a dual watch feature?

    Well I just bit the bullet and ordered the Yaesu FTM-6000R. It was on sale with an extended warranty deal, and I added the MARS mod service. Let's see how this goes!

    Much easier to carry the instruction manual instead.

    Fixed it for you: 亲爱的宝峰： 我看到不久前你们推出了新的GMRS HT（UV-5G Plus）。它看起来是一个相当不错的升级，但我认为您再次错过了将一个非常好的收音机变成一个非常好的收音机的机会。我的抱怨完全在于菜单系统。 1. 为什么我们无法在菜单系统中更改/输入频道名称？ 2. 为什么菜单系统中不能设置某个频道是否可以扫描？ 宝峰，我认为如果你解决了这两件事，你的收音机的价值/质量矩阵就会上升一个档次。 我真的很想买这台收音机来添加到我的收藏中，但我不想让自己感到沮丧。 感谢您的聆听。 WRPL700

    I see no reason to link GMRS repeaters. Let the ham team enjoy that. (Which makes me sound like I have dual personality disorder, since I have both licenses )

    If anyone asks, tell them you have an Icom, and their radio must be the problem lol

    I am the breadwinner by far in my home, and my wife is cool to not question my purchases. I do however tell her everything I buy, not sure why haha

    It's also possible no one is talking. I live in the capitol city of my state and I never hear GMRS traffic.

    Perhaps airband can only be entered in one side and not the other? For example, on my KG-UV9D Mate, I can only pick up 1.25m in Area A and not Area B.

    I am not familiar with that radio, but I own the KG-UV9D Mate, and I enabled GMRS via CHIRP. It seems like it would be pretty similar.

    I think you would be better off with a UV-5R that has front panel programming.

    My GMRS and amateur radios are 99.99% used for listening to NOAA and local emergency services. I'm not a very social person
  13. back4more70
    I have the KG-UV9D Mate and it is a fantastic radio.

    So get it ironically, all the hip kids are doing that

    And you would need a new antenna.

    I have also used CHIRP whenever possible. And Norton software has been garbage for many years. Best to uninstall it in my opinion.

    Josh? Jason? The old guy? Oh, wait...

    Mine too!

    Congrats. You've placed yourself in the pile of users that no one wants to help.

    In Soviet Russia, radio monitors you.

    Since it is an FRS radio, it is probably 0.5 watts on low (locked on channels 8 to 14), and 2 watts on high.
  24. back4more70
    I'll say that someone should go for General regardless, since it is not that much harder than Technician and grants plenty of extra privileges.
  25. back4more70
    Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but receiver sensitivity is a big deal as well. If you are blasting out but you can't hear a return call, that might be frustrating to say the least.
