Is this thing on?

Both good radios.

Just a friendly heads up. When asking questions about repeaters don’t post specific info on the repeater unless you are in the private (members only) area of the forum. So maybe just don’t include the name of the repeater or leave out specific tones. Here’s the what and why per forum rules located here. Private content. Do not post sensitive information such as repeater PL/DPL (also known as privacy or CTCSS/DCS tones) tones outside of the Private Discussion forum. This is to protect sensitive information from being picked up and indexed by search engines such as Google and Bing. The N indicates Normal while an I would be for Inverted. As you mentioned there is a +5 for Tx. It is worth noting that the +5 is automatically added on the preset repeater channels of GMRS radios and won’t require you to add it. You may know this already so I mean no disrespect by mentioning it, just trying to help. It sounds like you are on the right path.

Nice. I didn’t realize that was an option.

I considered this one when I was choosing a mobile but I needed a detachable face due to space constraints. The 778UV is still on my list of potential base station radios. It looks to be a good bang for your buck radio.

As it has been said it really depends on how you define best. I truly like the KG-935 plus. However I recommend a fully immersive approach to the radio illness and keep buying radios one after the next. You’ll be in good company.

This will be valuable information for the door to door GMRS radio salesman I’m sure.

I received an email when I got mine. Seems like the sort of thing that might be worth checking your spam filter/junk mail for though.

I agree it’s a great radio and it’s what I have in my truck.

Since your radio is GMRS specific on TX I would go with an antenna tuned for GMRS. While I like the comet antenna and I own both I would recommend the Midland MXTA26 for GMRS.

I got it from the same place @Sshannon linked for you.

The KG-1000 plus looks like it will get those AM frequencies as well.

It looks like their shipping estimate is six days from now. The KG-1000 plus is a good radio and if you’re sold on it I would get on the wait list. It will go by fast. I’m not sure about the radios you are comparing it to but the 1000 is a super het and liked by many. Just my opinion.

Not to mention lame.
