If you don’t like my posts there is an ignore function you’re free to use.

I can’t think of any situation that would require the license to be carried on the person.

Do be sure to state your preferred pronouns and ask those of the other person. It shows you are both “enlightened” and silly. I’m told this is also a good idea on Grindr, but I’ll defer to The Queen for clarification.

There is no cop who will ask for a copy of your GMRS or Ham license. None. Never gonna happen.

I liked the Midland 575 just fine, but wanted the ability to enter frequencies & codes more directly. Another wish was user configurable channels, so I could store all my frequently used repeaters. A louder speaker, preferably on the mic, was my last want. If I followed Randy’s video, it sounds like this new BTech is loud, so that’s good. The ability to enter frequencies & tones from an app, then do a back up of the date, is also a plus. It appears to have the channel capacity. I don’t need another radio, but will likely try this new one.

No one is forcing you to be here, or to stay.

Correctly? You can use it to talk to anyone who will listen & respond.

Now let’s talk about the origins of Covid! [emoji1787]

The headset solution would also work with the HT, but cheaper, more portable, and no antenna or mounting issues. It’s what I’d do.

I’d think the noise of the machine would make it difficult to use a mobile rig. What about using a handheld, which you could tuck in a shirt pocket or put over your shoulder like those firefighter radio carrier things? A handheld would allow you to use an earphone too, making it easier to hear.

Nope, just expressing my opinion when feel it necessary.

Interesting that a new guy joins and immediately feels the need to give us the rules. [emoji849]

Make sure if using “Unit number ___” that you’re wearing a shoulder mic, a black basket weave belt complete with flashlight, knife, and keys. Also helpful if you drive an ex-cop car, as this helps complete the picture. [emoji16]

Did the software allow you to put tones in both rx/rx fields? Then you saved the file and pushed it back into the radio? If so, you may just need to keep trying until someone answers. You can double check and edit the tones in the radio menu. I can’t explain it here, but a review of the Icom manual online will guide you. If that tone field is not able of be edited then RT should be able to help. The comment was a half-assed attempt at social commentary about our current national nonsense. Wasn’t directed at you.

Hopefully he’s not calling everyone a nazi, as seems to be fashionable lately.
