    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

    I have the KG-UV9D Mate and it is a fantastic radio.

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

    F/X

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I have a KG-935G+ and a UV-9D Mate, and I do not have this issue with my radios. Which model did you get?

    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?
  23. back4more70
    My KG-UV9D Mate will transmit on GMRS after a CHIRP modification. Not sure about MURS yet.
  24. back4more70
    You sure? Because: I have been dying to use this image somewhere
  25. 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.
