Thanks Steve, and I am aware of the relay restrictions which makes me wonder why the even make this radio so it can cross band repeat if it is no legal. I am just trying to learn what it can actually do in addition to what it is allowed to do. Knowledge is very powerful and I like to know what it can do, even if I never do it. Dan

Someone mentioned the Wouxun portable radio. Can it be programed to power down to be legal on MURS ? I realize that repeaters are not permitted on MURS but was wondering if when working out in a field situation - only all qualified family members of course -if I could program the hand held unit to transmit on MURS to a nearby Wouxun mobile in one of our vehicles which would in turn cross band repeat it onto to a GMRS frequency to a repeater 15 miles away. The second question question, a technical one at that, can the hand held unit be programed to transmit on VHF and receive on UHF as if it is one "channel" so to speak. I ordered a few and am looking forward to learning it's capabilities. thanks for any input.

ok where are the 2 of you - such extremes - I don't want your address or anything like that - just curious Dan NJ for now

nice and nice water view ! Dan

Ha ..at the time the movie came out I was actually a Lieutenant - the "Lieutenant Dannnnnn" never ended - in person - over the PA system - and the City Wide Communications center had their fun also - instead of being formal ( I am/was and easy going kinda guy) and asking for or calling on the radio for me properly - everyone would get a kick out of hearing "Lieutenant Dannnn" on the air. So when I joined a Harley Motorcycle Club i was a captain - they nick named me Captain Dan and it has stuck. Once again - thanks for all the help Capt Dan

Thank you ! I have done that ! Truly appreciate all the help everyone has been on this site. Dan

I am pretty much new here, but I do not seem to see a way to go back to the mygmrs home page once I selected the Forums. It would be nice to be able to go back to the home page from the Forums. Right now, unless I am missing something, I need to re-enter the web address and go to the home page that way. A button that would bring us back tot he home page might be nice. I am new and not complaining, just an observation as I try to use the site and learn about GMRS and this site. Thanks Dan

I'll be back down in a couple of weeks, have to coordinate all the stuff required to be able to build a house down there at same time coordinate selling house here. Still trying to decide what type mobile unit I want to buy, guess i will know it when I come across it. Dan

out the woods between Dunnellon and Crystal River. Bought the property - working on selling NJ property as I also work on building a home on the property in Florida. Dan

Thank you Pastor Gary. I can wait, I am in no hurry, just getting ready for my move to Florida. Dan WQRN707

So a question .... I am also a newbie and was thinking about one of the icom radios for my mobile. Is there a reason I should consider one more than the other ? Do I need a radio with more than 8 channels ? Could I program low power for when in camp and peole are using frs portables ? Dan
