    This also looks like a solid deal: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-805g.html?___SID=U

    Not every radio will output full power on every band. A radio may output 10 watts on VHF, but only 8 watts on UHF, for example.

    It's a Thanksgiving miracle!

    Thank you, I am considering the mentioned Nagoya NA-320A, and I also saw the Diamond Antenna Tri-Band HT SRH320A for over twice the price but about 4 inches shorter. I would need an adapter, which is no big deal. I will have to decide how much I want to sink into this purchase.

    Any recommendations for a tri-band antenna that you have used on an HT? I have a Baofeng UV-17R Pro GPS and just discovered it will transmit on 1.25m (as well as 2m and 70cm). The original is the standard male SMA to female connection dual band antenna.

    There's nothing like a first impression, am I right?

    My KG-UV9D Mate will transmit on GMRS after a CHIRP modification. Not sure about MURS yet.
  8. back4more70
    You sure? Because: I have been dying to use this image somewhere
  9. back4more70
    Just so I understand, are you saying that radios cannot have buttons outside the case to facilitate programming? My Wouxun KG-935G+ would disagree.

    Picket fencing is when signals are fluttering in and out.

    That radio is not settling, it is an awesome choice. I use it for GMRS, and I also have the excellent Wouxun KG-UV9D Mate for HAM stuff (which will transmit on GMRS if modified, but that is only for emergencies).

    I prefer CHIRP for the reason that I can program my Wouxuns and Baofengs so that they are similar, just by copy and paste.

    Maybe a silly idea, but if MURS was legally 10 watts instead of 2 watts, I would be happy to use it outdoors. But the 2 watts doesn't really do it for me, unless I am only a few houses away.
  14. back4more70
    Maybe consider a GT-3WP instead. Mine works like a charm.
  15. back4more70
    The standard UV-5R will also t/r 1.25 meters if you set it up right. Not sure about the GMRS version. (Of course, you would need the correct antenna...)

    I passed my Technician exam while visiting Wyoming, and the VEs were delightful. Then I passed my General exam in my town in California, and these dudes were severely uptight. Must be a reflection on the locale haha

    I heard if you put on a bikini and wash his Jeep, he is slightly nicer.
  18. back4more70
    You take the technician exam first. If you pass, they offer the general exam right then and there. If you pass that, they offer the amateur extra exam right then and there. In theory, you could pass the whole thing in one sitting.

    I had six of those at one time, great radios
  20. back4more70
    Welcome. Simple, watch videos and read the radio manual.
  21. back4more70
    Where can I find these? They sound great for search and rescue use or event communications.
  22. back4more70
    Applies to MURS, FRS, GMRS, HF, UHF, VHF, ...
  23. back4more70
    Seriously? Seems a bit overpriced. https://www.thedrive.com/guides-and-gear/rocky-talkie-5-watt-radio
  24. back4more70
    Bummer you didn't just start with two Baofeng GT-3WP HT, opened up for GMRS
  25. back4more70
    A novel idea, but that would be the equivalent of having all GMRS repeaters use no tone, which would reduce the available repeater combinations to eight per locale. In crowded areas this would be impractical.
