i was through Hayden early summer. Found one reptaer there. Because of the mountains and trees it was very spotty, Not good for traveling and didnt work well into coeur d'Alene. There are a few good high mountain spots around Coeur d'Alene but no one that i know of has planted a GMRS repeater on one yet. Good luck. Very nice area

congradulations. Don't stop..

that was just a sarcastic snark remark against Ebay.. No way i'm letting loose of that radio and i'm pretty sure @Lscott knows that.

I have most vers but they are sitting on my server at home.. I'm away camping for couple weeks. What vers are you avter? I would stay below 8's because anything above excludes the motorola stuff due to lawsuit.

yes, you are right. how you write your add is the trick..Avoid speciic model number keywords because thats what they flag. Better to use detailed pictures with heading like Hytera Repeater instead of Hytera RD982 Repeater. According to my friend, Ebay flags specific Model Numbers basted on the information they get. Doing a serardh for Hytera mobile, transciever, repeaters or land base radios brings up the adds. A little more work for some of us looking for specic equipent but it is what it is.

Pt580 Nice Radios. I have one.. It might show up on Ebay some day - If they let me :_)

I've done pretty good flipping certain Hytera Radio Equip.. Mostly Hytera Repeaters. I do weekly search's on the stuff and have noticed a huge decline in Hytera equip adds over the last month. Then yesterday i got an email from an ebay seller i've worked with telling me Ebay is restricting Hytera related adds. Not only do i see a decline in Hytera stuff but other manufactures i.e. Motorola, Kenwood etc.. Apparently Hytera is on the Homeland Security radar over networking issues..

I live in Califailure.. Ebay does have capability to censor adds based on states and their laws.

Randy, Looks like you are 100% correct. The seller sent me the same page Ebay sent him notifying him of their denialing of allowiing him to sell Hytera stuff. Kirk, The link below is what eBay sends. Evidently eBay searches for key words RD-982, or Repeater. The word Hytera itself does not trigger the response below. Notice this dates back some time. https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist

big difference between HYT and Hytera. Yes HYT is manufactured by Hytera but as a different enity. HYT radios and software are down low in quality and options. HYT is basically another Baoefeng.. Hytera produces commercial stuff competing with Motoroloa and are actually good radios.. And yes, Hytera, like most Chinese companies, have stolen technologies, most notably from Motorola to win some dominance in the U.S. Lots of school districts and low budget cities and counties used Hytera Radios until Motorola sued them for stealing their technologies. However, that doesn't stop me from latching onto their repeeaters, which are pretty damn nice.

you live in Montqna

its apparant that a lot of used radio adds are dropping regardless of manufacture.. Still lots of adds for Baofeng....

why woiuld that effect used commercial stuff??

that could be the issue.. Most Hytera stuff can be networked and apparently Ebay is enforcing some FCC ban that is several years old. Stange though that you see a huge reduction in Ebay adds for most repurposed Commerical radio gear.

No, but i am seeing a huge reduction in commercial radio gear on Ebay searches.. Not sure whats going on...

I just got an email from a vender i have purchased surplus Hytera radio gear from, incluiding repeaters, cables, jumpers etc. stating that Ebay has banned certain sales of Hytera equpment etc and that Ebay is enforcing a type of FCC ban that is several years old. Anyone notcing this and is it effecting other radio brands?? I just did a search on Ebay for Hytera radio equipment and its coming up with very limited items, not the pages pages as before. No mobile equipment or repeater items are coming up in searches anymore.. Strange.

buy a cheap Baofeng DM32 and get your toe's wet. This radio, for the price, is pretty decent.. I'm not a fan of it's encryption, which works but only for short distances but the Analog, DMR, Talk Groups and Zones make it an enjoyable radio to use. The huge battery will eaily get you a few days of use between charges as well.

Your theory is probably correct. AES128 is a little better, ARCA better than both but not holding a candle to the Hytera AES256 . DMR and analog with this radio is very good. I'm not complaing, the DMR32 is still a decent radio and their encryption works, just not to par with higher end radios.

i think you are right.. Couldn't play tonight, my friend with the other radio got drug out to dinner by wify.. ... will try tommorow.. I just found out the one i bought (from RadioDitty) came with a European Charger... Been charging it on my labtop cord and had to dig into the factory unit tonight. One more surprise

2 dud's. I bought one and won one.. It's really not a bad radio in Analog and DMR.. . I'm gonna figure out whats gong on with the encryption, something buggy there and probley doesn't like the highest level where i have it set..

the same aa analog,,,(pretty good) the encryption is the issue with this radio... I'm getting ready to try 8 bit to see if thats any different.

I'm not too impressed with Baoefeng's DMR and encryption. Havig both capabilities on my Hytera Radios which i have some very good experience with. These two DM32's. petter out within 2-5 miles in encryption mode. Switch over to non encryption in analog and no problems reacing out 15 miles. My Hytera radios have no issues reaching out 15+ miles in digital so not quite sure what the problem is yet with the Baofengs. Next step is to start testing the power outputs threw the different modes.. I knwo one thing for sure, these DM32's aren't going to spoil anyone. They work great in Anaglog Clarity in Encryption is very good if you are in range to communicate.

i hear you.. My businesss was starting to do that the last two years i was there back in 2022.. Kind of weird, they let people shop on Amazon all day long..

this is true.. When i left the industry in 2022 i think the overhead to underground ratio was 55%. Under grounding utilities is happening but not at an alarming rate. Because the cost is 8-25 times higher. Cities and Counties used to create annual underground districts forcing utilities to do this at their cost but utilites got smart and began to aquire their own right of ways.. And that threw a big wrench in these underground districts. Underground is the way to go thugh,, cables arent getting to dug up like they used to because repair cost to the invaders will put some out of business..

get another 50 years under your belt. you need it
