No, obviously they don't. My point is, don't draw attention to yourself if you are operating on GMRS with non-GMRS radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSAA635 Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 He was jamming a repeater so someone turned him in. I don't plan on doing any such thing. Unless someone want's to be a KAREN and turn me in for owning a HAM radio with GMRS frequencies programmed into it then it's "no harm, no foul" as far as I'm concerned.

WSAA635 Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Man this topic has gotten WAY Off Topic. LOL. I simply want to say what a Great Radio I think this is(HAM or GMRS/MURS aside) and we've gotten off on FCC Rules/Regulations and the Law and Going to Jail. Almost sorry I posted this.

If I can ever afford one, I'll get it. I just won't tell anyone I'm also going to program it for... Lscott, WSAA635 and WRYZ926 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSAA635 Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 I am going to make a video about the 5 things that I've found out about it that I don't like. They're not "Deal Breakers" by any means but still, if a cheap UV-5R has these features then this radio should have them as well but like I said, I still really like this radio. That's why I bought a 2nd one. WRXB215 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRYZ926 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Wouxun does make some good hand held radios. The KG-935G has been a solid radio for me and others. I know a few guys that really like the KG-UV9D Mate and KG-UV8H. I've been considering the new KG-Q10H quad band radio myself.

jwilkers Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 The uvd1p units (had?) Have a "suicide chip" that will.fail and render the radio useless. It has something to do with read write cycles to nvram.Sent from my SM-A136U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems if this is the case the radio would have been discontinue long ago since it's a 13-14 year old design. Does this "suicide " happen with normal use or what?
