Don't even bother, 'Some People' claim the FCC doesn't care.

FYI,, After running a 'report' this morning for current updates.. it does look like many of the Repeater Linking guys are turning off 'Access Request' for their repeater sites. Meaning they are not accepting request to join their repeater circus.. Also noting that many are toggling from 'Paid Access' to 'Permission Required or Open System'.. Some are even disabling their rogue repeater.

Oh give me a break and a thumbs up... I'm just trying to beat out Randy

sore looser.. I knew it

obviously people with a low attention span.. Go get you some attention./.

comming from a guy that has a constant 'hard on' for HAM'ers.. You are about about was hypocrite as they come.

Yea,, you read threads like you read FCC rules.. right over your head.. Start with he first post then work backwards. LMAO

to the contrary,, 'they (linked repeaters) are dropping like flies'

Dropping like flies, aren't they.. Their 'cash' cow dried up..

that's why i refer to them as two little girls in a powder room...

Southern and northern Calif is extremely busy with CB like Chatter on every channel. . Bay area is just as bad. North from Palmdale gets pretty quite and some of the repeaters are actually a pleasant to use. . One of my favorite repeaters on El Paso Mtn can talk from Acton to Lone Pine and Hesperia and Lone Pine about 175-180 miles. Los Angeles basin has it's share of 'Spanish speaking guys as well and yes they can talk like two little girls in a powder room.

get yourself a Nano VNA.. They're great for checking Coax, Antennas and other things.. Lots of various how to videos on Google.. https://www.amazon.com/AURSINC-NanoVNA-H-Vector-Network-Analyzer/dp/B07Z5VY7B6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=27K9G2O94D6NI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._c0Hx-JK1n0L41oe77KD7fcLIRsFX4_XZT_H7ZxdIs8BCuulklYWSZi7bTrGHD8BF5z2nq9d8KApRHbUSVwUAgta_Ua95QfM8DPnc4-tA2DhuxMPbV3MIXo2Mx5sF585EG8W2sSQ6wvgY9C8-kgPsGcS3mn3b6tKW01ocBWjju-1rDEXX_kIkdR_YyEidg6hl9HR8HPx1PGcYOS141bEaHxJBpwGmQ8UPK5D1Dd7bYc.oIILvBvlLqcs08bDNYLGdvdRu9BbUXTzf5XOjxbRaKo&dib_tag=se&keywords=vna&qid=1725726595&sprefix=vna%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

sure looks like your are ignoring me LMAO

it already has in many parts of the country, most notably in bigger cities like the LA Zoo

common sense is really not that hard to come by,, A little goes a long way.. Try it some time..

Like Randy say's. The FCC 'doesn't care' and would rather sit on their desk sucking loli pops than come after violators, so fuk the lic.. Who needs one...... Besides,, GMRS and FRS is nothing but a free for all zoo anyway.. If you can't beat em' join em'

yea, they write those 40 pages for morons that refuse to understand simple language..

well no $hit

very clear to me, i knew better.... I guess if you want to do something, your gonna find a way around something to do it...

understanding now and not before??? The rules never changed...

Sorry, can't help you.. Common sense seems to be in demand for a few.. Good luck !

should have know better,, the rules have always been clear.. They never changed, same 'ole rules.. Put it on Ebay... Lots of UHF repeater stuff posted lately.. Good luck....

Funny,,, money don't grow on trees... these linking guys were dependent on membership money to keep alive and we know that evaporated. (buff) Now many of these linking guys, whom 'had' 20+ repeaters in operation are stuck with all this equipment.. Wondering if this is why EBay has an uptick of UHF repeater equipment recently.

the way i look at it, SHTF would de a major emergency so having a radio capable of many bandwidths would be ideal (both portable and mobile). As you all know, during an emergency, Amateur Radio bands along with GMRS are open for emergency use without need of a license. Also having a few EMP bags around that can protect radio transceivers, laptops etc is a must have and easy to obtain through the 'right' channels. Also, keep a laptop you can easily stash in an EMP bag that has repeater sites, contact info, local police and emergency freqs, etc and other radio freq contact info for your immediate area. And old ammo can works well for storing extra batteries, chargers, some gold and extra pair of eye glasses.. Get her ready... Be prepared.

Na,, Not into the 'fratty' stuff.. Arguments and Politics is what makes life spin.. If i can't enjoy what i want to talk about,, screw em'. Have fun. Even most HAM clubs are learning not to fuk with our freedom of speech... It is what it is..........................
