  1. Hello All, Recently, my brother and I both bought 2 TK-880H 40 watt radios on eBay. Most of the research I did prior to purchasing these indicated that you should be able to program these devices manually. However, both will not go into field programming mode, which is a bummer. So, can any of you guys point me in the correct direction to obtain the software that I'll need to take care of this and get these things programmed and working? I bought a Sundely USB to RJ-45 programming cable that had good reviews for the TK 880, but I am not very clear on software. There aren't any radio shops near me that I could go to for this, unfortunately. So, this is something that I'll need to be able to do on my PC. When I turn the radio on, it says "Version 1.5209", then it says that it is in trunked mode (looks like it must have been programmed for a school district), and the back label says TK-880H -1 Ver 2.0. As I understand it, the 2.0 indicates that I can use the windows based software. Anyway, any insight you guys could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks
  2. Hello Everyone, I am new to using GMRS since I got my license about 2 weeks ago and I want to make sure I am doing things correctly. I don't know any experienced folks that are familiar with GMRS or HAM to ask. So, joined this forum to learn as much as I can. I understand from reading the FCC regs about when to use my call sign, but I do not understand the protocol for using a repeater. My local repeater is in Conway, SC and is open to any licensed users. Can I just transmit on this in duplex and follow the rules for using my call sign, or is there another step using the repeater call sign too? Thanks for any insight, and please forgive my ignorance.
