0 gortex2 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 First radio is not part 95 certified. Second there are only 8 GMRS frequencies. I would imagine it wouldn't take to long to add those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you even pass the FCC GMRS exam? rnavarro, AdmiralCochrane, WRMH343 and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, myself, just slipped freshly minted $70 bill to the examiner. But don't tell anyone. 8 wide-band frequencies + 8 wide-band repeater inputs + 8 wide-band low power freqs + 7 narrow-band low power freqs + CTCSS + DTS = over 9000 channels! Chinese math, yo! Could be tedious to add manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 axorlov Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I bumped kb2ztx back. This reordering based on the score makes my head spin. Crazy stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gortex2 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 True I always forget the added the FRS crap to GMRS. For years we only had the 8 pairs. Anyway...back to normal programming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Lads, thanks for the help. I just discovered that I can enter the Rx freq but not a Tx freq ...so I need a decent/reliable base-station type GMRS rig as my D578 seems to be Whooda thunk? I finally wanted to setup extra Comms for emergencies and hadn't tried my new-ish GMRS license until yesterday when I went about trying to enter the channels. Actually, maybe I need a Repeater (?) .. Seriously, there are none that I can find within a hundred miles. I am on a ridge and could put a colinear on one of my towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MichaelLAX Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 My Anytone AT-779UV a/k/a Radioddity DB-20G, transmits on Ham 2 meters, 70 cm and GMRS. Let me download the 578 software and see how similar they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MichaelLAX Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 UPDATE: OK, I now have version 1.13 of the Anytone D578UV software installed in Windows XP (Presumably Win 10 will also work). Go to the Model menu and go down to Model Information There are two Model choices: D578UV and D578UVII Under Frequency's, you will see there are either 11 or 12 pull down choices for each model. The applicable one is probably Amateur US Mode 000007; try this and see if you can transmit on the GMRS channels as well as the Ham bands. If not, keep trying the other Modes and report back your findings. As a last resort, Amazon sells the AT-779UV for $99 and the Radioddity DB-20G for $129 and I find that it out performs my Yaesu FT-857d on both 2 meters and 70cm! And I love being able to scan all my favorite GMRS and Ham Repeaters (and simplex channels) all at once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
