Over2U Posted January 8, 2023 Report Posted January 8, 2023 When listening to my GMRS H/T inside the house I will sometimes pick up only ‘fragments’ of conversations. Is it likely that I am just receiving random signal bounces, owing to the propagation characteristics of this 70 cm band? Quote
Borage257 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Posted January 9, 2023 Being inside can block some signal. If you move towards a window, signal will likely improve. Your radio may be picking up some faint signal from a local business or school too. Quote
KAF6045 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Posted January 9, 2023 FYI: GMRS is ~64cm; 70cm is the Amateur allocation at ~440MHz Quote
tcp2525 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Posted January 9, 2023 EME on GMRS will be a fun challenge with only 50w. Gonna have to build one hell.of an antenna array. Quote
