Welcome FNG. Your best bet to start with watching some YouTube videos on GMRS. Randy’s channel is a good place to start (Notarubicon). After you do a little Internet research and watch some videos, most of your questions should be answered. Effort = Results [emoji482]

I think we should call him “Scooter”

While not a “stubby” I’m using the Smiley Slim Duck on a couple radios and it’s working great.

I’m sure you’re asking in jest, but sure….. It’s not a specific rule, rather the overarching volume of regulations. There are also far too many regulations, many of which are ineffective, and often created by bureaucrats who don’t understand their implementation. Government is bloated in virtually every area. It needs to operate lean & efficiently - and in the best interests of the citizenry. Government employees should be held to high standards and removed if they don’t perform. It’s a privilege to work in government, serving the public. Government agencies, to include the FCC need to understand the recent Loper Bright SCOTUS decision and be guided accordingly. Unnecessary and/or ineffective regulations should be eliminated. Nee rules, if they carry the effect of law, should be created via the legislative process. I love this country, although we seem to have strayed from the founding principles. I won’t go into further detail as that would take us down a political rabbit hole.

This is the by product of government regulators who make rules for the sake of making rules. I’m sure they don’t have an issue with what we’re talking about. Just another reason to cut government in pretty much every area.

It’s not “data” it’s an access tone. By data they mean like a modem would transmit back in the day. Two different things.

If by interesting you mean annoying as heck, then yeah, it’s interesting. Same issue on pretty much every forum, new people don’t use the search function so the same stuff repeats over and over and over….

Man, I’d pay extra for a “thread ignore” button.

Some folks are also forbidden from talking to their ex wife. Both situations can be viewed as a positive.

The website has been a great resource, so just pony up and pay the fees to help support keeping it going.

100 people surveyed, top three answers are on the board…..

I think at least one of the people on my “ignore” list is one of them. [emoji23]

Government is never the answer.

The world we live in today is much too soft. [emoji849]

He doesn’t want more competition on Grindr. [emoji23]
