But that price? From your favorite viewer. Updated, the price is about the same without the radios. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

That price looses some of it's luster when you do the shipping. Is this normal for them? I picked the next cheapest shipping. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

So tempting. If I wasn't on a final push to pay the house off. Ugh!!! Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

Unfortunately no. They are too far east on the plateau. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

How is that possible? This is a small community and the people with the towers control access. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

Well they control the towers and actively block people. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

The suck thing is we have some sad hams in the area in question which have ruined the hobby and will fight tooth and nail to keep a GMRS repeater out. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Not denying your statement, but I'm all ears. I need a GMRS antenna and thought this a good solution. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

To my knowledge there are NO repeaters in the area. I've listened on my HT but hear nothing. Sometimes you'll hear somebody that working traffic but it's FRS. I'm just getting started in GMRS, and disabled, so me doing a repeater is not going to happen. There needs to be something between Lebanon and Crossville. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

I would have gladly bought American if they existed and at a price point that was competitive. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

While our might disappoint right now it's worth having for when you need it. At least it pays to be legal. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

I'm really surprised there aren't more vids. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

That funny. I'm looking forward to getting it. Just interested in the good and bad. Not being in the PRK don't know how relevant the programming will be. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

While waiting for mine, I wonder if anyone has one and can share their experience? Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

I'd just let it go. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I'm new to this board myself, and welcome. Lots to learn, and good teachers to boot on the board. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

He's speaking the truth, and being a veteran myself I understand and respect his plain speaking. I'm a ham myself, and came to GMRS because of the sad hams. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

I picked up a stubby here. I cannot speak to the attachment as I'm using a BNC connection, bought here as well. My stubby will hit a 14.7 mile fars repeater!! It's not really because the freqs are not optimized for the antenna. https://bettersaferadio.com/smiley-antennas/ I'm used to buying the cheap abree stuff and was hesitant to spend $30. I like this one a lot, and would buy another. I use it for short range. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

Thanks. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

The guys I chatted with told me they were linked. I only have a vague idea on that and I'm educating myself on the linked repeaters. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk

None of the links are connected to me, nor an endorsement to buy from the link. These are strictly for information. I wanted something for my daughter to use that would give her some range while traveling. She has a 2022 bronco which with a cloth top requires something on the back, or hood area. Ya that's not happening for her. I needed something that was temporary, and extended the radio send/receive past either rubber ducky, or tactical folder. I've outfitted our radios that do frequent antenna changes with BNC connectors. This allows going short or long with the antennas, I like the setup. I'll start from the tip to the tail. The stinger I used, by design, is a short antenna tuned (if you can call it that, remember Jack of all trades master of none) VHF UHF 136-174MHz 400-470MHz. I knew it wasn't a true GMRS antenna, but anyway. I needed short and low profile to handle the wind and BNC. Then we have the antenna mount. This is a window lip mount. Roll the window down half way, place the mount on the top lip and you roll up the window. In the samples I used the mount, 2022 bronco, and dodge ram with plastic window lips(I don't know what to call them) it mounted with no issues. No, I do not have the measurements for the plastic. On both samples there was no seal deformation, but on both the mounting is not long term. The mount I purchased used BNC connectors but can be bought in sma female/male, and BNC and once I slipped the mount on the glass I connected the stinger and had the window rolled up to the top. No air noise came in other than the minimum. And then, connect the radio uv-82hp. Usage: I'm new to using GMRS repeaters, and with the help of some members here I had repeaters programmed on a route I was traveling to my brother's. Once on the road I connected to the repeaters nicely. I was speaking to some gents on the oak ridge repeater and then the Knoxville repeater. They were very impressed with the setup as I was able to talk them at what they considered extended distances, remember this my first rodeo with this setup. I gave them the info from Amazon LOL. Conclusion: for a kit that is stowable in a glovebox and takes a couple minutes to set up, I really like it. I've bought two setups, one for the wife's car stored in a small kit (dop) bag in the center console and one for my daughter. The price won't break the bank by means with.

I use the mobile app on my tablet, and phone to eyeball the repeaters. I thought I would ask permission as requested to use a repeater in Chattanooga. How the fire do you all contact people? I've tried looking up the call sign. Get info, but NO USER INFO to email for permission. Go to the website says you. While this appears obvious to us all, I have a user name, and registered on mygmrs.Com BUT cannot get the password accepted after NUMEROUS resets. I've sent a contact us request for help, which have not been responded to. I made it known here, no response from the admin to solve this. I'm going to Chattanooga to see my daughter this weekend, and would like to use the repeater if allowed. I received excellent help on the chirp programming side by fellow members, and would like to use again. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my SM-T860 using Tapatalk
