i had one for my RV for awhile was a nice radio until the display decided to go south.

I have one, i actually prefer the Hytera for simplicity.. i paid 375 for the xtl 5000 w/ software and cable.

Not necessarily. I picked up a Hytera HM782 mobile on Ebay last summer for $350 bucks. Best radio i've ever owned and have since picked up a couple PD782 Portables for pretty damn good deal. Keep your eyes out, you can get pretty good deals on the Motorolas as well. Plenty of software on line for either radios so thats a none issue. I love the Hytera Radios.

I've always choose DuraComm Power supplies

I don't think you'll find a better radio for GMRS than a KG1000, unless you go in Pirate mode and go with a Motorola, Kenwood or Hytera..

Yup,, I remember too,, HAMS was the go-to cheap stuff. and it worked

I'd bet half the traffic you hear in any large metropolitan area is not even licensed. Particularly in the Las Angeles basin area. And i would even stretch that to include actual repeaters. I'm even hearing a lot of business using GMRS now, like Motels, Grocery Outlets, Construction Co, Landscaping Companies.. I've had a few landscaping companies try to use my repeater, they are hard to get rid of, they don't care. But when you learn who they are and get in touch with their owner and educate them on the FCC laws they will disappear. Self Policing the GMRS repeater Bands and getting harder and harder, sometimes i just turn it off. Thank goodness for the remote access.

well,, the FCC can have a 'Hay Day' in the Las Angeles basin area. But we all know that aint ever gonna happen

I dont know about being easy.. some folks have a hard time signing up.. I must have helped a dozen people last year navigating the web site(s) to get their license.. Hell, passing the technician test is almost as easy. - Just saying

yup, i just made the comment in relation to privacy (somewhat)

Voice Scramblers works well, especially in the Hytera radios.. But problem with that, everyone needs a like radio. Other problem, if anyone worries about it. FCC Illegal for GMRS. But still quite a few still use it.

ICS controller can be configured to turn up/down via HTML or DTMF. The Bridgecom you refer to is most likely set up with an ICS controller they are plug an play for Bridgecom,, Arcom may work as well but i don't think Arcom can switch via HTML

its actually worse than CB in the LA Basin.. Most of it does disappear once you get over Cajon Pass

very busy, people purposely stepping all over everyone, including the repeater channels.. lots (LOTS) of profane language, Get over the valley and it disappears back to normal life except the two guys on ch 19, i swear, they start yapping at 5:00 a.m. and keep going.. They must have a good repeater site, i can hear them in L.A. and Barstow. I'm just spoiled being in the desert.

if you want to hear a complete zoo,, scan the GMRS channels driving between Las Angels and San Berdino. I don't even bother anymore..

You can get 7.62x39 from Ammo Supply Wharehose in Pahrump NV for reasonable price

My last SKS was taken from me at a Club Shooting range back in 1995.. The gun fired full auto on its own.. Fired off 4 rounds in one trigger pull. Range master had the club gun dealer inspect the rifle, whole trigger mechanism was defective was going to cost me $130 to fix.. I gave the rifle up.

i read a story awhile back on X where the Ukraine Military's choice tactical radio was the Baofeng Hand radio.. And there was all kinds of conspiracy pings suggesting the Baofeng's were being remotely turned off. Several pictures posted showing the Ukraine army guys with Baofengs on their hips.

Yea, they did offer that, but signing up required a credit card.__ even though it’s free for a year

You know what really erks me, Getting notices from health providers or credit card companies, (I’ve gotten two in last 10 months) advising you they experienced a data breach and your personal information, including name, address, sss Number, Driver Lic Number was among information breached, And all they do is say “sorry”.

yea, but the idea was thrown at you over a year ago.. But im glad you finally got her done... Now you need to work with a 'Radio Manufacture' to get Google Earth to talk with GPS radios.. It's in the works, but you need to work fast. Good job

about time..

he is not interested, i've contacted him a few times.. If you want to try to create your own report, The Excel web query was working yesterday i don't know why it's 'hit and miss' on the site but it appears to be working again. You need Excel 2023 to do the query.. it works really well.
