stiggs13 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Due to the general state of things I thought it be a good idea to get licensed and buy a radio. So here I am in Eagle Rock with a Baofeng UV-5RA. Trying to learn all things radio. Looking for active repeaters in the area that I may be able to hit with my puny radio. Hope to see you all on the other side WRFM92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 WRFM92 is not a valid call sign. Please check your license, and try again. Extreme and krvw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizensoldier16 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Welcome. Despite what you may read, the UV-5 series radios are decent radios. I use one on GMRS as well as amateur bands. Get yourself an aftermarket antenna and you’ll be well served. I recommend the Nagoya 701. Again, welcome and enjoy. Read as much as you can and there’s plenty to learn. 73, WREX979KO4CWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkinet Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Welcome. ...Note, stiggs13’s last login was two days after their original post in this thread. Also, as Jones pointed out the call sign isn’t a valid GMRS call sign. Probably a typo, since they were able to create an account. But, still, it would be nice to get it corrected, and know they were still interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
