Make an audio recording of the CW and upload here to decode. https://morsecode.world/international/decoder/audio-decoder-adaptive.html

only one time in 7 years of using GMRS was i ever asked to register, or request t to use a GMRS repeater. It was in Auburn, Calif in 2020. As i was travling through on I80 Ch 18 broke loose with someone asking for a radio check. This Ch happend to be programed with the same and PL codes of a repeater here in the desert After giving the other party a radio check and talking for 20'ish minutes. The owner just popped in introduced his call sign told me it was his repeater and asked me to submit a request here to use. It was no big deal, the guy was nice about everything. I never did fill out a request to use cause i havent been through that area since.. Frankly, i can't even keep up with the ones have requested access too.

he discusses a little on connecting the two radios to the RICK,,,, as far as programing the CW can you find anything on a Google search, along with the other aspects you are looking for? Repeaterbuilder.com might be the best resource for your questions and help.. Those guys are eager to help anyone. .. I once had a repeater made with two Maxon Mobil Radios (similar to two Motorolas). I used an ICS controller with OpenRepeater software, open source. I had to access the pinouts from both radios to make a custom pig-tail cable to communicate with the controller and radio. That setup cost less than $200, worked very well. Was able to program CW or voice on any interval i needed and also had a busy option..

DMR is defiantly a different game, which I have never used RT or Chirp to do since my Hytera CPM does it well. Right now the only DMR radios i have is Hytera and mostly because i like their overall package and ease of using their CPM. Not to mention some very good deals i've gotten on Ebay....

RT is defiantly easer to use but considering the amount of time, at least for me, you spend on programing, i can get things done almost as fast in CHIRP. I'm not a fan of the Wouxun software either but it does do everything needed. I don't use much of either anymore since i use mostly Hytera stuff now. Their CPM is extremely easy to use and learn and very powerful. I have a couiple Motorloa radios, which i like but never could get my hands around their CPM..

it's kind of funny with GMRS compared to HAM Radio like WIN or PAPA. The later being busy every single day almost every min of the hour.. GMRS on the other hand, at least in my area and places i frequent while camping, has it's cycles. Some days the spectrum is busy as heck and scanning will drive you nuts and other days it's so quite you begin to think your radio is broke. My repeater can go weeks with zero traffic then all of a sudden its a mad house, it sounds like grand central station. There is even a young crowd that come and go on my repeater, every once in a while they get on and zabber having fun then their gone but they always seem to come back. On the HAM side with PAPA and WIN, it's like wait your turn so can can speak. I prefer using GMRS becasue i dont line the pressure of following the HAM zargin. They like things done their way or you can't play, but i respect that.

yes, but with a price tag.. Some like RT, i have used both, I don't mind CHIRP, it's free and will get you the same results.

yup, its a good idea to auto identify your repeater station, especially if it is an open repeater. At the end of the day, Its operation is the owners responsibility. Also a good idea to set up for remote access to disable if needed.. I have never had to remote shut down mine but a nearby friend has a few times due to jamming. Another thing he does, that i don't, i probly should, if he is away from montering range he shuts his down.. His is set up for continuous 15 minute ID intervals. I dont like that, i think it is silly, so i set mine for ID on Busy only on 15 min intervals. It's a personal preference thing. He does it so people can find and identity that particular repeate which has a very very wide operational range.

this guy fibured it out

GMRS is actually not bad until you get into the bigger cities..Then it seem's 'Game off' time

I don't remember paying when i obtained mine in around 74.. If I remember correctly, i went too the local post office on base, filled out a form, name address, birthday etc. checked two boxes agreeing to abide by rules and sent it with a prepaid stamped postage card. About 30 days later l got my call sign in the mail. For the life of me, i can't remember that call sign.. Probably cause i never used it .. Back in that day, I don't think i would have wasted $20 for a license, considering that could have filled the tank in my 70 SS Chevelle 5 times.

the difference between CB and GMRS in the FCC's mind is 'cash' CB licensing got them nothing, GMRS is a pretty good cash cow for them.. So no, i don't think the same thing will happen.

you mean after all that hype he is a Ham

.I've got 22 HT's 15 are brand new in the box... Mostly Baufangs When i got hooked on Hytera HT's i quite playing with the Baufangs. I still like my Wouxuns

but its the truth. Honestly, i'm surrounded by them.....

I can vouch.. 'Tumbleweed' Sucks.

the odds the FCC will go after people specifically for using non-certified radios is very very slim. One would have a better chance of winning 10 Lotteries. For those that program their non-compliant radios to the exact specs for a given frequency per fcc rules, it would be impossible for the FCC to even enforce it. Now to the idiots that prgram their radios to 40 watts in the FRS band. Go get em'

Lot of radio in one package. Your right up makes it tempting .. Thanks

i wonder if this guy is the onion caper ??? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jayme-john-leon-mcfury-onion_n_1914789

Its not actually blocking but rather 'ignoring' The idiot would still be there in the wild but his crazy post would be ignored on your feed.. You woiuld still have the chance to call him out.

Most of us have blocked SOCALGMRS so we no longer see his rude mean comments.. I dont think his problem is a result of a naging wife. No women would want anything to do with him. The best way to deal with the idiot is ignore him.. Hover over his member icon, select ignore, make sure to check all the boxes on the bottom.. He'll go away.

On my 5888UV, i programed and (listened) to GMRS but loved to use it for my HAM contacts. Really great radio it was.

Did BuyTwoWay change something? Just 6 months ago they answered by questions on a Duplexer i needed to get them to re-tune on a Saturday.. With the info they sent I fed X'd them the Duplxer first thing on a Monday mornning and i had it back in my hands the follwing Monday..

Since you don't mention GMRS only i would recommend an Anytone AT5888UV which has a removable head (works easy) and they sell a separation kit which is basically a long CAT 3 or 5 cable and a mount for the head. If you are 3D savvy you can make your own head mount. This is a dual band radio. The one i have, which I rdon't use anymore came shipped unlocked so was able to program GMRS. I used in my last jeep for a while then went to a Midland MXT575 (which i liked a lot)..

now after folliwing the above instructions it's so nice not to see that SoCal on these pages. Pooof.. Gone
