HEY KID!!!!! YOU'LL POKE YOUR EYE OUT

Take a look at the baofeng uv82c and save some money. Watch the video of a different model being abusedhttps://youtu.be/https://youtu.be/kZCDBsBuhmg

FCC rules require permission from the owner of the repeater prior to using it. He doesn't check his email very of, just give it some time.

Hey Rich, Do you know what the new fee for a gmrs license will be when their system comes back online. I called yesterday, it said they should be open, but noone answered......guess they are on vacation early. I hear it will be $65. Glenn

Dive in and have fun, but besides fun, you have a back up plan

I had the same problem several months back, and ended up sending them back. The replacements worked great.

Which reecom model?

Kim, Welcome to the site. It's good to have another technical person on here who is willing to help us who don't have the knowledge. That is what it's all about. Glenn

Welcome to the site William. If those units are not repeater capable, I would take them back and get a pair that are. I would then look for repeaters in your area, and request permission to use it. Then at least the little units will be of some use for you and your family. Glenn

Hey steve, You can always try a better antenna, like the comet base that is for gmrs. Height is important, so can you get a tower and put it up higher? You can contact your local ham club and see if they have or know of someone who has a old business band uhf antenna not being used. (450-470), OR CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT AND SEE IF THEY HAVE AN OLD ONE THEY AREN'T USING. Try and find someone who may have a swr meter to check your signal......you should be talking farther than that even with the ed fong. Are you using mobiles, portables? In moving vehicle..... Glenn

pastor Gary, Great looking antenna, thanks for the info. Glenn

I have found a roof mounted 1/4 wave works just a good as anything i have used.....bigger is not always better. just my preference, and then no worries.

Hey David, welcome to the group, "q" has some good repeaters down there, used them on a trip last summer. Tell him Glenn from SC says hello. I hope you have fun with gmrs, and good luck on your test

73's from south carolina and welcome aboard.

we used the m1225 in boats for years and they always performed. i love the pm 400's since they come loaded with all the pl's. Great for gmrs. quaterwave, i've got a saber, sva or ava, and amp........thats what you need.
