WROY773

I'm honored to be among Jeeps and radios! I have an MXT575 - if it weren't for Spaz, I'd be talking to myself more than I already do.....that said, I only use GMRS while I'm driving, which is only a few hours per week; thing is, i only seem to hear folks sometimes...other times, I don't hear much of anything. And, all that said - had the Jeep down by the Potomac last weekend...

@marcspaz - Cool - validation would be nice - at least I won't wonder if I'm bright enough to follow @OffRoaderX very simple instructions. Sigh. Thank you

Happy Monday - I'm not much for drama but you all are somewhat entertaining. ? I just got an MXT575 and can speak to the easy of setting parameters but there is no software I'm aware of - as an example, the REPEATER function is boolean - it's either on or off. I'm in Northern Virginia and have been able to set REPEATER to "on" and can hear repeater tones, and an occasional conversation, but have yet to have anyone answer when I toss out my call sign and ask for a comm check. It would be nice, as someone mentioned, to have the ability to test which I don't think I have at the moment.... All that said, I really didn't want the complication of HAM nor the noise/chatter of CB. I'll keep at it, but am open to suggestions.
