    I usually make light of the folks in Texas thinking they can write their own standards, but I see a certain company is actually in Missouri. Maybe the engineers are from Texas.

    Frequency hopping is a lot more effective when you have an unlimited number to choose from. With the limited number of GMRS channelized frequencies, defeating it is even easier than "normal" frequency hopping chasing. Frequency hopping is well within prescribed use. Scrambling is not. I'm sure equipment in the battle wagon that convoys along with the presidential motorcades has equipment that defeats both instantly.

    What range does your multimeter read? Some of my coworkers tell me that a circuit is open, then I find they are using meters that only read up to 6k ohms and the circuit was a 10K ... wasn't open, but their meter couldn't tell

    Some Nagoyas are counterfeits made in China. If you got a genuine Nagoya that isn't superior, that is unusual. Contacts made thru repeaters are often poor for comparisons because repeater antennas are often mounted much higher than is practical with HT or mobile units AND repeater receivers are dramatically better radios than HT's. A much better test is simplex HT to HT.

    There is nothing you can do.

    GMRS band is primarily for contacting people you already know.
  31. AdmiralCochrane
    As the one who shall not be mentioned says, perhaps Grinder is better for contacting strange men. The intent of GMRS is different.
  32. AdmiralCochrane
    This. You have to buy radios and use them or there is no traffic on the band. Be one of the few - next thing you know, you will be one of some, then one of many.

    I have an older mono 50 watt Alinco I bought used just because new 1.25's with decent power are hard to come by. Don't skip it just because you can't buy new

    Take one of the HT's there and test it. You NEVER know without trying. His location might be golden.
  35. AdmiralCochrane
    Perfect! That's what the service is intended for. Most expect to find contacts when they need them, rather than cultivate beforehand.
  36. AdmiralCochrane
    If it doesn't have 15w or more on 1.25m, it's just another meh
