Last week we went up to our local lake for a quick week stay and some fishing.. By brother was out on the Kayak while i was lazy on the lawn chair drinking a beer. He is trying to reach me on the HT but he is breaking up. I get up and walk up a small hill to my left. He says he caught a couple trout and hading back in.. I retreat back to my beer. Well, after coiuple days latter, my legs are itching and oozing. A visit to Urgent Care last night confirms, I have Poison Oak all over my legs. I have never had this crap but i can tell you it is driving me nuts. Hopefully these steroids will kick in.. Dammmmm I remember waling thrugh some small brush on that hill, but was too busy trying to reach out on the radio to be concerned of what i was walking through

I think his problem lies with misery. Miserable people want everyone around them to feel the same way.. You are right the best way to to deal with miserable people is keep them away and just ignore.

Members 1k Posted just now Yea,, but SoCAL says hes an old man so he like us already went throught that stage.. He never grew up.......

Yea

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play,

sounds like somthing that SOCAL guy would do

Probaly cant remove the antenna on that radios as well?

Even worse is the strange mean comments that come from you. I'd rather put up with kids having fun

Did a tour of the mines last Sept and camped at Alabama Hills.. Lots of simplex activity from Hikers. I don't frequent that area enough to maintain a repeater gut you are right, coverage from Cerro Gordo Peak would be a killer. I'll donate/loan a repeater to the right someone if they are interested in setting up and maintaining at Cerro Gordo

Block him..

Mark is right on the travel channel. There was an attempt to set up CH 20 with 141.3 tone several years back but it never caught wind.. However it you scan while traveling, ch 20 does seem to get more random traffic then most other chnnels, unitl you get near bigger cities.. Then you are in for a free for all.

I know the point, but is it necessary to set up a GMRS Repeater to CWID every 15 mins of the hour 24/7 regardless of traffic..No, it is not necessary.. To me, the owners are trying to send a message, "this is my frequency", hence - dogs pissing on tires

there for a second, i thought he was talking farts

the only foliage i see is a 3' high tumbleweed .. In the evenings i can see the glow from the lights coming out of Las Angeles 130 miles south.

Yea, if you consider end to end with repeater setting in the middle.

My repeater antenna sits about 45 AGL from a ground elevation of 2,600 feet. Mt. Whitney is about 75-80 miles away, line of site. Last summer i talked with a hiker sitting at Whitney Portals whom was talking off a Baufang UV5R off my repeater. I've talked to mobiles on Hwy 395 near Lone Pine, about the same distance but not the elevation angle as Mt. Whitney.. I sit in a unique spot where i sit in a valley and surrounded by long mountain ranges.. Another repeater 12 miles from me sitting at 4,300 feet can talk 200+ miles. Aside from Antenna height, other factors come into play such as ground elevation and elevation of surrounding areas. The guy sitting at Whitney Portals said he was at 8,400 feet.

Hey Negative Nancy, thats because you never meet anyone.. Nobody wants anything to do with you!

there is a reason, can you imagine going to an ATM machine and spending an hour finding your language to proceed This is no joke,, the other day i was standing in line at an ATM an older guy in front of me using the machine starts cursing out loud. I said ' what are thy out cash' he says "F**K no, this G*D D*mn machine, I can't read spanish bla bla bla.. . He strugles to get his card out, he finally does, he storms inside the bank... OK, my turn, first screen says select 'yoour language'.. I guess he selected the wrongh one

couple years ago someone did a full write-up on that SWR/PWR meter here. Do a search see if you can find... And even though i have Socalgmrs blocked he message squeaked through,, perhaps because I'm on my Windows Box. Just block the idiot and don't pay any attention to Negative Nancy.. That's what we call him

the Daiwa is kind of a funky meter, Don't use the P.E.P. and try.

Exactly the way I'ding is suppose to be. BTW,, the RC-210 is a nice versatile controller. I saw a 3D case on Makers World for this board.

Personally, i think the guy's id'ing every 15 mins on the hour is no different than a dog pissing on tires.

i might be wrong. check this threat on another site: https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/icom-ic-fr4000-cw-id-help.443905/
