    Antenna

    I have always heard that objects I.e. other antennas, should be horizontally spaced at least one wave link away from operating antenna. So with that, your concern would be with your CB antenna. At 27MHz you would need about 17 feet of clearance from other objects. GMRS antenna would need around 2 feet. Now how critical this is to radio performace, I have no idea. But if you Google the subject, you’ll find lots of theories
  2. plug in the coordinates on Google Earth and check in Street View. (no all are available)
  3. Yup,, much different breaking a law, vs. a 'rule'
  4. Three years ago some clown in our city programed an HT to local Police frequency and started to clown around on their frequency. It got a lot of local attention by our HAM groups and on day three of this nonsense the HAM group isolated the location and along with the police were knocking on the clowns door. Never heard what happend to the guy, but problem went away..
  5. unless he overrode via programing software. I did that once.

    I think thte Crestline gorup just added a Repeater in Oak Hill.. I don't know if they are linking.. They have a huge footprint
  8. Have you tested talking simplex? If no problems there, you probably have a programing issues.. Can you break the squelch on the repeater?, you should hear that when you key up the repeater ch..
  9. I hear a lot of Hotels, in many cities, that use FRS... Mostly cleaning service, Ch 3 & 6 are popular.. And then the landscapers.
  10. i ordered one, i'll let you know.. Shhhhhhh..

    80% No... and then 60% south of the border language.... and boy do they flap the jaw.. A good handful can go on from sun-up past sun-down and you hear this in LA, Riversie and San Berdino Counties.. San Diego is pretty much the same.
  12. Some sellers are actually selling unlocked versions on Ebay.. I saw a few couple weeks ago on Ebay. I messaged the seller and they said they would ship me an unlocked uv5r on request.
  13. i have one thats unlocked and love it.. Nice radio.. I read in QRZ awhile back that Wouxun's are actually made by Hytera. If you put a PD782 and the UV9gx together its hard to distinguish between the two other than the screen resolutions which is much better on the Hytera.. Radio programing ais all much different between them.
  14. i mixed a barch with caramel.. May as well enjoy irt
  15. Yup,, Center of the cab and don't waste your money on those third brake light mounts. I got one on a deal on Ebay and after about a year it cracked at the antenna mount. Worthless hunk of $hit...

    I wonder why GMRS users in Los Angeles are complete opposite. It's like the gates to the jungle their
  17. Go to Control Panel (under your log in) and select Subscriptions. You get a much better deal paying by year. https://mygmrs.com/profile/subscriptions
  18. No way NYC is quite on GMRS with all those repeaters. Twice as many than Las Angeles and LA is a mad house zoo on GMRS...
  19. Offroader just signed an Executive Order.
  20. a lot of 'want to be' HAMER's practice their phonetic techniques on GMRS.. Pretty easy to follow these guys.. Just listen to WIN and PAPA and you'll know what i mean.
  21. nope,, never once heard a call sign, just first names. Ch 3 seems to be most popular followed by Ch 7&18. I hear them on 18 as they hike (hitch hike)down to our local Walmart
  22. Overuse of call signs are the guys that set their auto CW's on their repeaters every 15 mins of the hour regardless of traffic. Especially the ones that have to announce the date, time, temp, and city.. Crazy as hell
  23. I have heard hikers on Pacific Crest Trail refer to the 'Rock House' several times.. Maybe one of the places they can charge..
  24. Yup, use to do that all the time, even analog cell freqs using field strength metters
