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.

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

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 - Thanks for posting here in the Forum and Welcome...
We'll have to wait for persons with ICOM experience to chime in on your question. There are no ICOM dealers in either of my primary residential locations, so I personally have no experience with them at all. Our Forum traffic is a little less on weekends, so be patient and someone with that info will reply to your questions as their time permits...
Thank you Pastor Gary. I can wait, I am in no hurry, just getting ready for my move to Florida.

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 ?

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.
