WRUE951

the UV 21 uses the USB charge option so its not the same battery as UV5. The BFH6 looks like a Uv5 and not sure what the difference is between them. It's not a bad radio, been playing around with it for a few days and i like it.

yes... Apparently a UV21 is an upgrade to the UV5 and this seller is saying that radio XTMTS out to 520... He is selling for $34.

The 880-1 are nice radios.. I have two and they'll never leave my sight

gotcha ,, thought this was HT

getting that hot, i would suspect something gone wrong with the battery.. i.e. a short ..

I think you are confused with display symbols on your radio. Pull your manual and become familiar with them so you know what they represent. Unless you are on a trunked system, your radio will have no way to detect presence of a repeater while in idle mode. GMRS radios do not operate in Trunk.

With all due respect, go back and read my last comment here, it was very clear. And as stated in prior comment, pulling data still works. It’s just not as easy using common software such as ad Excel.

very limited. And no, not the only way.. as i stated above

you buy it that way. some of the popular $hit hit the fan radios came wide open, but i don't think they are coming that way anymore. Google $hit hit the fan Wouxuan and see if that helps. Send the sellers a private message (emial) and ask if you can buy a radio out to 520. Good Luck

up to a few weeks ago you could use Excel to extract data from the site using simple Excel tools but the owner has since locked down his site stopping these Excel tools. However there are still other tools available, some open source, that will continue to work and allow the extraction process. You will need to learn how to use compliers with these tools but they work perfect.. Google HTML data capture and look for open source tools. Lots of youtube videos out there too. Note that it will also me handy if you know how to write macros as this will speed up process of sorting. Good Luck!

how do you know or what makes you think what you are hearing on ch 4 is a repeater?

Well, i got the so called unlocked UV5R today.. It's not a UV5R but rather a BFH6.. I contacted the seller and he said i requested a unlocked radio to 520 and that is the model he can ship for my request. $29 bucks.. I aint gonna complain. it is unlocked and i think it's a tri band.. No manual either. I never heard of this model but it looks decent..

i had a plate that came with my Surecom and lost it somewhere. Never used it. In fact, i have never bothered to check SWR on my HT's.. They are designed to withstand high SWR in various conditions.. I wouldn't worry about it. You would probaly spend more for a plate than another Baofeng Radio anyway

I have always heard that objects I.e. other antennas, should be horizontally spaced at least one wave link away from operating antenna. So with that, your concern would be with your CB antenna. At 27MHz you would need about 17 feet of clearance from other objects. GMRS antenna would need around 2 feet. Now how critical this is to radio performace, I have no idea. But if you Google the subject, you’ll find lots of theories

plug in the coordinates on Google Earth and check in Street View. (no all are available)

Yup,, much different breaking a law, vs. a 'rule'

Three years ago some clown in our city programed an HT to local Police frequency and started to clown around on their frequency. It got a lot of local attention by our HAM groups and on day three of this nonsense the HAM group isolated the location and along with the police were knocking on the clowns door. Never heard what happend to the guy, but problem went away..

unless he overrode via programing software. I did that once.

yup, you're right.. got them mixed up..

I think thte Crestline gorup just added a Repeater in Oak Hill.. I don't know if they are linking.. They have a huge footprint

Have you tested talking simplex? If no problems there, you probably have a programing issues.. Can you break the squelch on the repeater?, you should hear that when you key up the repeater ch..

I hear a lot of Hotels, in many cities, that use FRS... Mostly cleaning service, Ch 3 & 6 are popular.. And then the landscapers.

i ordered one, i'll let you know.. Shhhhhhh..

80% No... and then 60% south of the border language.... and boy do they flap the jaw.. A good handful can go on from sun-up past sun-down and you hear this in LA, Riversie and San Berdino Counties.. San Diego is pretty much the same.
