    I predict NOTHING will change regarding GMRS under Trump. He and his are only interested in the internet as related to FCC.
  13. AdmiralCochrane
    Fixed Stations are legacy business data transmission. Stores relaying inventory info to warehouse/distribution.

    So much for the disclaimer on the equipment for not being sensitive to allowable RF
  18. AdmiralCochrane
    Now you understand the difference between GMRS and CB

    May win a prize for your best post ever

  21. AdmiralCochrane
    You should also be thinking they are holding their radio sideways instead of antenna straight up. Antenna polarization is a real thing. Not important standing right under the repeater, but it makes all the difference in the world out in the fringes

    I made a 12 mile simplex (radio to radio) contact yesterday. I could clearly recognize my friend's voice.

  27. AdmiralCochrane
    In 1963 my father bought a CJ6A (same chassis as the M170) with a worn out motor and put a Buick V-6 in it. We used it for decades until it was totaled by an idiot driving on the wrong side of the road. No one was hurt other than the Jeep.
  28. AdmiralCochrane
    So ... this depends on whether the radio has tone defeat and whether it has a meter. I still posit that this is above the average GMRS owner.

    I agree, you can't go wrong with a Mossberg. I have a 590 Now that we have derailed this thread, the question is whether to start a Radios/Jeeps/Guns thread or to continue to mutilate this one.
  31. AdmiralCochrane
    I'm talking about One would have to monitor the channel bare with no tone, then switch to your channel with tone ... how could you keep monitor without tone on while using tone unless you had dual receiver? Not all radios have dual and not all users would begin to be able to do this.
  32. AdmiralCochrane
    Should be, but I'm pretty sure this is above the skill and understanding of 999 out of every 1,000 GMRS licensees. Probably above the equipment capability of the majority as well.

    Very certain it was roadrunner. It's kind of distinctive.
  35. AdmiralCochrane
    I have noticed the same while working at the Norwegian Embassy compound. Particularly when the VP was on the move. When the big black vehicle motorcade was in motion, nothing with an antenna seemed to function.
  36. AdmiralCochrane
    I agree, it's not like DMR If someone doesn't live in the same town as you, a code plug is not likely to be particularly useful.
