Jesus.. whats a real cheerleader

i said basicity. The MIC connection and cable is using the same physicial RJ45 connector and twisted pair wire found in ethernet systems but with different wiring pinout and for different purposes. Yes, it is a non ethernet connection, we all know ethernet needs to be a managed connections, hence the reason you use switches or routers in a eithernet environment which is more than likley lacking with his set up. I will say, if i wanted to, i could extend the mic on my repeater via Ethernet and a lot of other things.

it doesn't make sense. why would you want to split the mic? You can extend a mic using RJ45 extensions.. There are aslo some Bluetooth mic gizmos that you can add. The Mic connection is basicly an eithernet connection to the radio, generally, no you can not split an ethernet signal without feeding it through a switch or router..

two different MDC acronyms. I'm referring to Motorola Digital Communicator.. So yes i 'get it' Motorola Data Communications is acceptable. I'll still stick with MAGA though

No, using Mobile Digital Communicator (MDC) signaling for voice on GMRS is not legal. The FCC prohibits all digital voice modes, such as DMR, on GMRS channels. MDC, though a form of digital signaling, is part of a digital voice system that does not conform to GMRS regulations.

PLEX wrote back and said the problem is caused when PLEX server does Library Scans on the QNAP which takes up unnecessary resources to communicate with QNAP. They have a recent update that solves the issue along with some other security isssues.. Installed the new PLEX server update it it looks like all problems with my COM Ports are now solved with Windows 11. No issues so far connecting my DMR radios to CPM.

Mobile Digital Communicator. its en encrypted communications which is pretty much illeagle for public use. You can legally play with it on MURS or a business radio license.

OK.. I found the problem last night. I run a PLEX server though my QNAP connected to my Windows 11 Box. When i stop Plex services but leave QNAP running i don't have any issues with my com ports and can connnect 100% to my DM32's.. So i know its PLEX and not QBAP. PLEX is somehow screwing with my COM Ports when QNAP is streaming. I have a ticket in with PLEX to see if they can hlep me with this.. I found this by shutting down services one by one.. This was driving me nuts because connecting was spontanious, it worked most of the time but now i now what is causing it. I never ran PLEX or QNAP on my 10 machine so it was alwasy unmolested. So i have a suggeston to the OP having similiar issues. start shuting down servicesa as you try to connect and see if you can find a siilair issue Good luck

Navigate to the ECFS filing page on the FCC's website and file a comment.

i have some issues with connecting my new DM32 and finding com ports with Winoows 11.. Sometimes it works sometimes nada and thats going through the process of confirming the Com Port as Steve suggested. The radios start to connect than fail before really getting startedd. I'm not having any issues at all on my Windows 10 Labtop.. Even tried unning the software in compatability mode on Windows 11 w/ no luck. For whatever reason, it will evently connect on 11 but takes several attempts sometimes

the only low band repeaters i knew of 'back in they day' were high on top of Mountain peaks and many counties had 3 or 4 in their networks that reached every inch of their boundaries. Than came UHF and many many more mountaintops and even parking garages.

the price is what blows me away.. I have two of the new Baofengs DM32 radios with 2500 mH and i get an easy 2.5 days out of them, 3-4 in monitor mode. That 5200 on a UV5 has to last an easy week for under 25 bucks..

yup.. could be a chrger too. Some people with big linears use chargers for whatever reason.

personally, I don't use networked repeaters.. Although i've had plenty of opportunity as there are quite a few out there, I shy from the practice because its not legal.

how big is the inverter

As of last April. Yes

Wow, check out this big bruit battery from Baoefeng and the price. https://www.baofengradio.com/products/battery-5200mah-bl-5rhplus-usb?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email

right now relatively easy and kind of cheap. I'm sure everyone will be building repeaters but if this approves current off the shelf will be just that. "off the shelf' Gone.. Like Mark says, the duplexers are giants and i remember a time whan they were thrown away as junk.. I can lithely remember Placer County tossing them after trying to give them away.. Those days are gone. Now you can't find them.

i've noticed that too.. A year ago you could buy retired used Commercial radio stuff on Ebay cheap cheap.. I was lucky and got a few things including a couple high end Hytera Repeaters, one of them brand new. Now, the used commercial stuff is going for high dollar premiums and the junk left over from then..

Meanwhile. the price of coffee, at least what i spend, can buy 6 of those big box platform radios. But i prefer to save for 6 months and buy the bigger bigger box platform.. I'll take a Hytera please.

in FM the modulation stays the same it uses all the bandwidth, In AM the amplitude of the carrier wave changes with the instantaneous amplitude of the modulationg signal. AM essentiality uses less bandwidth with more emphasis on the modulating carrier

Authorized, yes. But FM requires all of that bandwidth and AM doesn't.

i think AM is going to be the winner in shooting skip over FM just because AM uses much less bandwidth which lessens the effects of the atmosphere and other conditions.. FM will be more clear in audio in shorter range but also be more acceptable to degradation over range because of its bandwidth characteristics... AM transmission is defianlty better for longer distance transmission

I wrote the FCC in favor of this petition and also suggested in my letter if the FCC favored this proposal they should also use this opportunity to clean up the exisitng GMRS rules and clarify existting rules. I.e. Limit GMRS repeater ownership to 3 or less, do not permit cross state GMRS Repeater ownership, clarify rules related to 'charging for use of a repeater". Rewrite current rules on Linking so that it is clear the practice is simply illegal and take the confusion of other networks out of the rules. .. This wold be a great opportunity for the FCC to clean up all the gray areas with the rules.. One of my buddies in Riverside (FCC) office says this proposal actulliy has some traction.. The more we write in favor of this the better chance it has.

its got a way better chance of happening then Linking on GMRS.. You might be wrong on this one.. I woild give it a better chance though. maybe in 2 years.. Lets Bookmark that comment... Looser buys the other a ice cold tall beer
