OldBlue Posted June 8, 2022 Report Posted June 8, 2022 Greetings all. Just got my GMRS license, purchased a Midland MXT115 for my Jeep and a couple of Retevis RB27 handhelds. My daughter and I used the handhelds the other day for the first time while we were out off-roading. I do have a lot to learn regarding the whole GMRS/ham radio thing though, so I'm hoping to learn a lot here. Quote
Chilango Posted June 17, 2022 Report Posted June 17, 2022 Welcome! I am in central Ohio and use the Johnstown repeaters mostly. What area of Ohio are you in? This site has been very helpful for finding repeaters in my area as I move around the state. (While I don't use repeaters for the majority of my radio use, I've been impressed by the increaded range the repeaters provide.) Jim WRDB702 jwilkers 1 Quote

WRTZ740 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Posted August 6, 2022 Hey all, just grabbed a BTECH V2 to get my feet wet, but have my eyes on another set once I get more into the flow. Near Centerburg here. Quote

Guest Wreb747 Posted August 12, 2022 Report Posted August 12, 2022 In central Oh also. Not much traffic in my area. Canal Winchester. Need to find a base antenna that is small and can be mounted and not seen by the HOA nazis Quote

WRDB702 - Jim I am, not so well indoors, but decent outdoors on the HT, but much better on the mobile. Thank you Quote
