Skipping channels during a scan isn't allowed on the Midlands I think. I'll look into it.

I've got two fellows that spent at least 30 - 45 minutes everyday. Call signs are given after the repeater gives it's babble. Kills the air and ties up my unit as I can't even use the SCAN function.

I wore greens as well but in the Navy as a Bos'n Mate / Salvage Diver. We used nicknames instead UNLESS you were in trouble!

NAW, real military chatta would be "Roger, Wilco," then go do it!

I can no longer remember my CB call sign but for some funny reason, I can still remember my first Service No. B23..... before SSN numbers were used.

Yea, I keep responding to your calls for a signal report here in SC on my "very ole" Midland 500 but you can't seem to hear my reply. Maybe a better antenna would help... (:>)

I was around for the demise of the CB call numbers while living in Hawaii. As users would drop their call call signs people that had many friends began making up call signs for their group with corresponding numbers like family members. Ours was "KMA-1??." So, for some time, we had either a real ID or a fake to use depending on whom you were conversing with... Lots of fun with rabbit chases too... Good ole days.

We are "some people"! YEA, I enjoy using past descriptions of, "Some People" and behavior, just to get the attention of "Some People'" Good morning.....

Who knows, maybe. At Jeep Rallys maybe. We usually don't use call signs during our introductions nor during our conversations deep in the woods. We are "some people"!

Life is too short to argue with total strangers on the internet.

Using it when you sign off is all that is required, I thought.

Just returned from out of country travel and got the same smack... Was concerned but I change it....

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.
