Not much you can do outside of going to jail.. there is a guy in this community, his name is 'Ron', he lives on Desert Candles and even has a General Ticket... Yet this clown enjoys the art of jamming, cursing people on the radio and playing with several repeaters both on GMRS and WIN around here.. He loves to make farting and burping sounds... Dozen of letters by various people have written the FCC, people have encountered him at his front door, yet he keeps playing his games.. Even ignoring him doesn't work,, his childish game is a routine for him... Some people don't give a crap, and at the end of the day, there aint nothen you can do about it.

In my case, i'm just wanting to learn the tunning process.. Unless i can compare to a professional tune i wouldn't depend on the Nana tune.. Another reason i got a 'el-cheapo' duplexer...

Exactly what happened to me with a UHF Fiplex.. In fact i was worried when i sent it in to BuyTwoWayRadios of getting a message saying 'No Go'... I just picked up a Panorama UHF on Marketplace for $25 bucks.. Basically got it to mess with and try to learn the tuning art using a Nano... Going to also order a Tiny SA for a sig generator source...

I tried to tune one myself using a Nano VNA and watching on line videos.. It didn't go very well . Ended up sending the Duplexer to BuyTwoWayRadios.com. I live in Calif i think i sent to a Florida address. Overall it took about 8 days to and from at a $60 buck fee.. There are people that advertise on Ebay offering Duplexer service as well, fees are about the same.. I'v always had good luck with BuyTwoWayRadios, personally i'll stick with them.. Good luck

Yea, i found it strange since it was so cold out,, but its been warm in Southern Calif, maybe that and the desert cold air created some kind of inversion layer... Back to normal this morning

couple years ago my grandson went on a week long fishing trip with us near and around Mammoth Lakes.. I always set up a portable GMRS repeater when we go camping and of course he ended up with one of my spare Baufangs.. Today he is 22 years old and now holds a General and studying for his Extra. He doesn't even mess with GMRS anymore,, He's into 80,40 & 30 meter stuff.. Occasionally he will ping into my GMRS repeater to say hi.. I'm proud to say, i gave him the bug

Anyone experience the Ducting event in Southern Calif last night??. I'm in the Mojave Desert about 120 miles north of San Berdino/Riverside and around 11:30 my HT in scan mode lit up.. Picking up all kinds of chatter almost every Channel coming in from Southern Calif, it was pretty busy and strong.. Yea, i did try to make contact but my end wasn't getting out.. Went on for 45 mins, got tired and went to bed.. I think we had some minor cloud cover, and it was cold, down in the 20's...

41 more days

Isn't that so......... True

The Midland is defiantly better than the Nagoya.. One person in our 4 camper caravan had the Nagoya and he was always the first guy out and he didn't have a backup so he was always the lost ranger..

They are pretty impressive but they will peter out pretty fast on the long haul or when around hills and trees. On a trip up the calif/oregon cost last summer i had to switch over to my Midland whip to get some traction talking with friends along the redwoods.. Overall, the stuby does very well.

DX has them in stock https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/cma-ca-712efc and GigaParts https://www.gigaparts.com/comet-ca-712efc-460-470mhz-base-repeater-antenna.html

Gotcha

someone might harass you - Randy

the hitch is that all users must be licensed and use their own specific call sign during business use..

i wasn't aware he got attacked.. You are right, that in itself will cause some major headaches, especially for a one man show.. I hope he gets threw the mess.. Sending a prayer.

No, there are always tons of changes, I think he is lagging behind.. Holidays will get ya....

I haven't seen the update here as of yet as well..

Budweiser will do that every time.

a club for what purpose????

Yes, i can cur-chunk a repeater with my HT here in the Desert 80 miles away but i can't talk on it. With my mobil, no problems..

Who, What, When, Where, Why???

$400 can buy one nice radio that would run circles around that Wouxun

they work well when driving in nearby groups but peter out on long range and or if your are within a lot of trees. I was given a MXT25 and for the most part i like it, it works well.
