Just a statement here. FMO Linking is actually coming back, probably more than before. I've also noticed in some areas DMR over GMRS is beginning to grow an interest. A couple of my friends in the East who were big time linkers stopped after the FCC announcement but now recently are getting back into it bigger than before.. One of them got legal advice and was told the worst thing that can happen is a slap on the hand. Some folks are willing to take that risk. But here is a question Steve.. If you use someone's repeater that is linking to others, does that make you a Quilty party in the FCC's eyes??

Actually, if the repeater of interest is advertised here as 'Open' you are not denied until the owner put's you on notice to cease. I would use the repater and if the owner pings in and says you are not welcome to use his/her repeater then move onto another. The key is is to not be an idiot while using someone's repeater. Be polite courteous and follow rules. The worst thing is a repeater owner saying no. As a repeater owner myself, if have never told anyone they are not welcome, even to a couple idiots that I have allowed..

I recently put a few on Markeplace for storage. I actually got paid to store them.

i tried a radtel on one of my baofangs awhile back. it sucked. I've read in forums the Abree seems decent.

i use one (Hytera SM27) on my Hytera Mobile and love it. No lag, no interference and decent control of radio. The speaker sounds great to...

1:5 is pretty good.. Don't mess with it.

Those darn Export Radios will do it every time.

Sure it does,, you're just looking at it with your left eye

Just buy a cheap controller and use many of the open source repeater code sources available. Some like OpenRepeater can even be mapped to control your USB serial Port Control Relay..

Sarcastic point.. but its true.

Mines just throws me the bottle of Viagra

your right, there is nothing in the rules restricting the number of GMRS repeaters one can establish. So if you have a lot of friends and a lot of cash, you can put up 25-30 repeaters as some here do.. In fact, you can spread them through multiple states too. Hell Yaaaa.

well,, maybe if you get two GMRS HT's, program them for a local repeater and give him one. Once he realizes the potential talking over repeaters without the hassles of getting a HAM license to do the same, he might get interested... And say dad "this is for family and friends and we have lots of friends.. Then convince him to put up your own repeater.

Well Sh*t. Time for a SODA

POTS sounds like 'Plain Old Trump Syndrome' Never tried it. But on a serious note,, POTS can't mix with GMRS per rules.

Why waste an AM radio for 'line of site' communications.. The fun with AM is getting out and touching the world.

it is pretty hard.. Smaller communities tend to have less building restrictions. We also found that new subdivisions have extra tax assesments passed on to the homebuyers. We were lucky, the builder subdivided the property before the county started playing that game.

picking your neighborhoods is much smarter than picking a retirement community, IMO anyway... When we left Sacramento in 2019 we looked at Del Web but that look didn't take long to realize 'not for us'. We found a nice home, large lot, nice neighborhood like you explain in a small desert community and love it. The only bad part about it, its in Califailure where taxes and gas prices are beating us to death.. But at the end of the day, I have my RV parked here, my Repeater Antenna parked 40' up and we are on a crest 400' overlooking the valley.. Life is good. Over and out.

I have a friend going through the selling process. He says that new buyers of his home have to go through a vetting process with the board. The Realtor is working with Del Web as we speak. I don't know what the vetting process means or entails, probably making sure they are old farts, financial responsible and agree to the HOA guidelines. He is Texas bound and can't wait to get his feet out of Califailure.. Wish I could do the same.

Yup to all of the above. We call the place snob hill.., oh, you forgot two more, you have to get permission to put your house up for sale and the board has to approve any new buyers.

or just turn you smartphone into a ham radio with this https://www.kv4p.com/

You've changed out 'hundreds' of plugs in the last four year. Oh my gosh... You do that for a living

I've got a Hytera BT Mic for one of my commercial Mobiles and it works quite nice
