I have 2 Motorola's that I use for GMRS and HAM 70cm myself, they are the XPR7550E and XPR5550E. Handheld and mobile which both also do dmr along with analog. Just a thought if you go that route. Also have a Harris XG100pP which covers vhf/uhf and scan the 700/800 bands along with vhf/uhf trunk frequencies.

Have my D75A in hand and with the Openspot 4 Pro can crossmode into DMR, YSF, NXDN, plus using DSTAR. Only xmode can't do is P25 with it, but then again I actually do have a P25 handheld. USB-C charging at 5 watts. USB and bluetooth programming. And a few other nice things on it. You get what you pay for.

Looks like Alinco is getting into the GMRS market. DJ-G46T. https://www.remtronix.com%2Fgmrs-radios%2Fdj-g46%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3T5WUQac6zaMPNQDcYzZLVMCMXA128v_a2M1bYzzdATzgg13fYQMiQTiU&h=AT3hnAUiw5KG5LHARFnOX_Ur7tM19AlJCO_LXG5SrNXF4czInO4segyhMJzjPTdS3YaKEN4njh3f36Ei4y0w0KBnRvifom3yzrX35jjAMZaxcVd1GL3Hd62WPXQ359pcX7c7sLBfJWoLZqYqkGFuvw

The 70CM band for Amateur radio covers 420mhz to 450mhz. Some other countries have different blocks, but in the US we have 30mhz of use. People getting devices that are from other countries and using them here in that frequency block are in for a big disappointment because those devices aren't actually legal to use. They complain to the FCC about interference issues and find out the hard way.

I myself have 2 moto xpr uhf model radios which I use on gmrs and ham, xpr7550e covers 403-512mhz and dmr and analog xpr5550e covers 403-470mhz.

I'm just a gear jamming service tech that happens to be a ham and gmrs license holder. And a computer gamer to boot. Now it's time to take over the world in a funny twisted way.

don't forget about 160m, 60m, 17m and 12m. Though most do

I wonder if you people know that stun and kill function is by digital means, not analog. As in if you are using a DMR, NXDN or P25 unit and someone wants you not on that talk group. There is no analog means of doing that for the reason that in the digital modes your radio is transmitting a unit id number. In analog it doesn't.

And this would be a good example of the aprs part. https://aprs.fi

I am a licensed general class ham as well as a gmrs license holder. Both services have there ups and downs. Can't compare because they are really 2 different beast. I use one to accent the other because there are times when I need to. Trust me when I say you can make both cost as little as you want to the extremes. That all depends on how much you want to put down on equipment. For example I have P25, DMR, DSTAR, and YSF. have part 90, 95 and 97 equipment. It all comes down to how you want to spend your time doing things and tinkering.

I have MURS programmed in on My Harris XG100P set for 2 watts along with GMRS, 2m, 70cm ham bands and doing some non affiliate trunking with it too.

Have had my XG-100P for a few weeks now. Liking it very much so.

Over analyzing can lead to baldness and paranoia.

Possibly some early morning uhf ducting happening. Conversation with one gmrs user in Columbia, MD thru the 550 machine in 7 corners and I'm here in Woodbridge. He was talking with a person in Georgetown, PA. Who knows

I just picked up a Harris Unity XG-100P so the sky is the limit.

count me in, on both meet and greet and donation

Well I guess that pushes up the time table of making the bulldog hood ornament of a Mack truck bite you in the behind

Before or after I run head on into a brick wall?

serious face palm moment

Wondering what to do since I walked in and everyone staring at me as if I did something wrong.

Last radio I had seen from Tid wasn't even allowed to be sold in the US

Don't over do it in studying for the exam, you will be sure to fail. give it like 30 minutes every other day. Have had my license for 23 years now, first tech, then general for which there was a code requirement but not any more.

Not in the sense you speaking of. And 2 not listening to digital traffic thru analog frequencies either.

Actually monitor for digital transmissions work differently then they do on analog transmissions. You don't have a squelch noise floor on digital like you do on analog, because digital is only sending data/1's and 0's. So when you hit monitor on say like my XPR7550E/XPR5550E in dmr mode, you just turning on both time slots and all color codes to hear what is on the frequency. You won't hear any static.

BTech Pro only sends a position report with your call sign, no messages. It is more like a MDC function then APRS. I'm also a APRS user going all the way back to my first which was a Kenwood TH-D7A(G) along with a TM-D700A
