  1. No,, But that would have been a good idea.. We didnt learn about the police call until a few weeks after when the father got on and shared what he did.. Wish i would have thught of that though I'm one of the guys that sent a complaint to the FCC
  2. Meanwhile,, i just took a peek in by radio cabnet where dozens of radios sit. Some of us are hyper-focused behind closed doors
  3. I remember that PA in my old PACE radio... Almost had as much fun plying the PA then on the CB
  4. gotta love the guys dedication.
  5. yiou mean it's REAL.. All along i thought it was a Photo Chopped Picture
  6. that's been done, over and over.. two years ago the guy was using some pretty narly fowl language telling two kids to get off his Parrot Channel on Ch. 3 The kids parents called the police and they actually went to his door and talked with him (Ron).. It didn't do any good. Seriously, this guy is not all together 'up there'.. His favorite past time is jamming local GMRS repeaters, the main reason i installed a remote shut down.. Every once in awile he gets on HAM bands and makes farting/belching noises.. Everyone knows who he is and where he is but nothing ever touches him...
  7. yup,, thats been done,, Talk is cheap and Guido & Vinny don't do things the way they used to
  8. getting it in my hands is like wating for Christmas but its on it's way.. in the meantime.. check out some of the videos. i.e.
  9. every once in awhile we encounter a nut case whacko that insist on creating kaos on GMRS... What do you do??? Telling the FCC will not do anything, so now what.. Well, here in 'my' community we have just one 'Nut Case Whacko' and sometimes he is a major pain in the azz. This 74 year old POS likes to jam local repeaters, make farting and belching nosies and in general be a child on the air waves... He's been put in place more then once but he always gets a second wind and returns to his childish games. Aside from calling his name out on the air waves, his home address and even his HAM radio license (N6QIS) there is nothing else one can do.. Bounding on their door would be foolish.. How this clown got a General Ham i'll never know, or why he got it is even more confusing. He never talks, he just makes childish annoying noises. That all he does.. This has been gong on for years, and there must be dozens of complaints loged against this clown. He know's the FCC will never harm him and he is smart enough to stay away from dark alleys.. How you deal with clowns like this is an answer i'll never know.. I guess all we can do is pray someday soon the a$$-wipes die
  10. Yup,, I've got a medicine bottle full of them.. And they get used as a first choice when possible.
  11. None of my very expensive Hytera DMR Radios came with a programing cable.. And those cables were almost as expensive as buying this Baofeng Radio.. The DM32 uses the standard Baofeng program cable. Like i said, i had a ton of them at one time..Funny how the cheap cables tend to get lost and missplaced but that never happens with our $50 cables.. I've never misplaced any of my Hytera program cables, they have a special place unlike my Baofeng cables that are stashed at every corner
  12. i had a couple and just found them after the fact. This is how you collect program cables.
  13. this should this should fix any antenna woes
  14. You would have a much better chance getting hit by lightning twice standing at the same place than the FCC knocking on your door with a GMRS violation.. And as Steve Shannon pointed out, there is no organized monitoring VM's for GMRS and i woiuld say there never will.
  15. OpenGD currently works with a very small handfull off DM radios...the DM-32 is a new DM radio.. I've scoped out OpenGD but there dosen't seem to be much enthusiasm with it.... The DM 32 has a pretty decent CPM, (free download, check it out) and will cover my needs. This radio will not have anything I would desire to change initially but after i play with it i may find some things i woiuld want to change. Also, keep in mind, Baofeng has already had two firmware updates for this radio, so i think they intend to perfect the CPM further.. This radio also has a ton of flexibly on front panel programing, more than what you would get with OpenGD.. The way i evualate OpenGD, it's helping 'some' very limited radios, but wont do anything above and beyond what the DM32 offers..
  16. Actually, this works out.. Gonna give one to my brother, he was getting ready to order one.
  17. $97 with taxes. I also orfdered a $9 cable... The one i won is shipping free.. Just got a note this morning, it's on the way. Note, when you enter their site for the first time they give you a 10% discount code.. Copy that into your clipboard right away becasue it will disapear when you start browsing their site.
  18. Wow, Last week I ordered a Baoefeng DM 32UV from the Baofeng direct. When I ordered, I also entered their monthly giveaway contest. Tonight I just received an email from Baofeng, I won a DM 32UV.. that’s cool, now I’ll have two.
  19. go to the repeater section of this website and scan or look for repeaters in your area. The search tool or the map is a good start to locate local repeaters for your area. Once you find a repeater you like you can message the owner through the repeater tools and ask them for permission to join their repeater.. If the repeater is listed as 'Open then its a good chance the owner(s) allows use. Just follow rules..
  20. GMRS is nothing like the CB craze. (Much more civil) IMO your best chances of making contact with someone on GMRS is on a repeater channel. Like Steve said, just get on an open repeater or one you've been approved to use and talk away. BTW,, welcome to GMRS. Hope you have fun and buy more than one radio
  21. When i had my Jeep i had a Midland MXT 575.. It stayed with the Jeep.. I loved that radio and i want it back. I even like it over my current Hytera HM782.. Well almost.
  22. Interesting, QRZ did a review on a Siglent last year but the model they reviewed was $600 bucks.. The review was pretty decent.. I'll got thrugh these and figure this out.
  23. I've actually 3D printed some small screws for circuit boards. They work fine as long as you don't overtighten..
  24. yea,, thinking the same.. But they said the same thing with the Tiny Spectrum Analyzer and i love the device.. I don's use thumbs or fingers, i use a pen pad stylus.. I'm thinking of getting this. My Oscilloscope source has retired and moved to AZ leaving me high and dry..
  25. so, if one programs a commercial business radio, meeting Part 80 & Part 90, to GMRS Channels to their perspective power & frequency specs and locks the radio in the CPM programing so no radio adjustments can alter these settings, then you have a legal GMRS radio.. But once you program other XTMT frequencies outside the GMRS Band, you radio is now illegal for GMRS use. This is why many HAMS use Business class radios for repeaters.. As long as these Part 80 & 90 class radios are programed strictly for GMRS to spec, they are legal to use.
