Well, I just got excited and all, ya know! GOT to be careful my one and only Jeep Ducky didn't run off with them watermelons seeds fly 'bout! I edited best I could even with my legs crossed so tight well to kept from peeing myself! Jeeping and watermelon eating jus' gets me all worked up!

So, ya went out into the desert (Of all places) to shoot those nasty, foul smelling PEWs PEWS and without much of a backstop endangering the natural habitat and all its beauty. Then, them sneaky Jeepers must have followed you out there knowing you won't lead them astray to get lost, and never find their way back to civilization! It's a well know fact, "All perityfied Jeeps" never dare to leave the pavement in great fear of harming the environment and treating very lightly even on hard-packed, undisturbed gravel roads! I bet the real story is that they stopped alongside the road cause when hearing you "PEW, PeW, PEW that awful 9mm watermelon seed thrower you carry for protection scared em so bad they had to sound the alarm and get on the radios for backup help....... Hope ya picked up that nasty seed casing you endangered the environment with, my GOD Man! . . . . Had to get out and check my Jeep just to make sure there were no seed casings in it!

The ole MXT400 has the ability to search and recover the PL Tones as well. It wasn't mentioned in the OP Manual but I found out by testing the procedure on my unit and it works.

This it true and it happened in 1978-79. I had a license and then it wasn't required anymore.

We used log books in the US Navy when communticating with other ships before computers. I did SSB with my CB in Hawaii off the 17th floor and never thought to do a log. What did it matter I thoght. Same feelings today. We (at home) never logged phone comms when telephones were new. In business relations note might have been taken on a scratch pad and of course in the Navy Petty Officers all carried a pocket notebook (wheel book) and might still do. But keeping track of GMRS conversations during daily activities seems a waste of effort... to me. And with that said, I do have a list (and make one when traveling) of the Repeater Stations that I might encounter during my travels after mapping my routes, just in case.

My sincere apologizes. I might have screwed uo the name to begin with. Off and on and I have finally noticed I was wrong as it is Vance 600 after now.

Still have a pair of Uniden HH units with broken off antenna (protectors). The wire antennas look goofy but it all still works great.

Our familys have used radios several times caravaning across USA before it was popular. Great times...

In Nov this year it will be 50 years! Best decision-making in my life was to get married to a smart lady! She enjoys me as much as I do her! And we enjoy our hobbies and lifestyles together. Marriage was a lifetime agreemant we both looked forward to and have enjoyed...

Yes the codes I used were simply fake to as not confuse anyone. But thank you for the explanation, I go it!

With the Midland MXT-400 I have a similar question regarding the split tones. Say for example, the repeater receives a TRANSMITTED Tone (RX) on the CH 19 of 123 and then transmits the message out to the world on (TX) tone 411. It seems to me I could just set the RX tone to the input code (say channel Rp19) and do the same for the output channel 19. Of course I would only hear the output of the repeater and nothing transmitted simplex correct?

Some fancy pictures you have there! How did you draw them maybe a swirl o'graph? I had a SWR meter on the CB but it was a needle and flat graft of numbers. Reminds me of the ole navagation system Loran C location mapping.....

The outer rubber coating on my MXT-400 "mike wire" has recently failed also. Just as an example, my Cobra CB unit still looks brand new even after almost 15 years (and works). So, there is a failure in regard of Midland "quality failure/cheap stuff," I'll also support that claim to a degree. Yea, I'm still stuck with swapping PL Codes when necessay and as such will look into other radios IF the replacement mike fails from the "poor coating." At my age (and level of use) I really don't think I need to learn another new manufacturer programming plan. But at the time of replacement I will look innto it.

It can be programmed EITHER WAY, using the app or thru the mic didplay is what I remember "The Queen" said....
