Feel free to ignore SoCal desert dwelling control freaks that can’t help but tell you how you have to use your radios, should such a person come along… oh look there’s one now. Are you two in love?

WSHI503 Posted yesterday at 01:16 AM Report Posted yesterday at 01:16 AM Hello..I'm new to gmrs . I've been a listener to scanners for 30 years so I've heard National Guard chopper, U of I air care, Police, Fire, Ambulance, etc. as well as HAm, CB and gmrs on my Whistler 1040 scanners connected to a Diamond antenna at 54' on a fiberglass telescoping mast for the past 30+ years. I bought a pair of Btech 50v2 radios and I monitor Ch 19 mostly. I've heard traffic on Ch 1 young kids, CH16-17-18-19 adult conversation. Just got my Surecom SW-102 SWR meter today and tested all channels - both radios, home base and truck 1.0 - 1.4, so now I'm ready for some gmrs conversation WSHI503 Waverly, Iowa 73s Doc out.

Brand-new to GMRS and radios in general. Have yet to program in my first repeater, and have had to watch several YouTube videos to figure out how to turn the power-on knob on my new HTs. Looking to learn, but I'll be comfortable with my forum handle for a while! Welcome! Not a bad handle. I think we're all learning new things continually. Like the old saying goes, if you're not getting better, you're getting worse. 5 hours ago, WSHI503 said: Hello..I'm new to gmrs .
