    GMRS Linked Network Very Impressive In My Area ~ 150 miles

    I'm going to call out the North Georgia GMRS Group here for coming off as stiff and unfriendly - in this one regard - being able to enjoy the Godly privilege of participating in their Facebook Group. I saw that they had a FBG and asked to join. They did not readily state on the front page or on...

    GMRS Linked Network Very Impressive In My Area ~ 150 miles

    The local GMRS folks have me thinking about joining. In my area, they have built a Linked Network that covers 1/3 of a large state. Corner to corner is at least 150 miles maybe 175. That's an impressive stretch to be able to communicate going in on your nearest repeater with an HT .... and talk...

    Triangle horz delta loop

    Loops are my favorite. Yes they ARE quiet antennas being a Current-Point type. Your shape has the 4th lowest gain going down the list. Best gain: Circular 2nd: Square 3rd: Rectangular 4th: Triangular. . 80 meters for me always came in around 255 feet. Be very careful making a 160. Doubling the...

    Any Idea Why Icom Not Properly Accessing "Wouxun DCS Codes" ?

    Hi guys, In my area we have a Group-Owned Linked GMRS Repeater network that covers a huge area. Some of the machines use PL tones while a few use the so-called "Wouxun" CTS tones that read like D023N - which is Code #1 on the list. The repeater nearest me is one that uses these stated tones. I...

    WHAT RADIO ARE YOU USING FOR YOUR GMRS BASE?

    Forget my above post and the TYT radio. Just sold it. Will be using an Icom 2730A dual bander. Easy to mod by removing 2 diodes. Does 50 watts thru 470mhz after the mod.

    Getting Something of a Runaround from Radioddity. Question re Newer TYT9800

    Forget this hooey. Have sold the TYT and have coming an Icom 2730A from HRO for $309 ..... which I should have done in the first place. Pop the cover and 2 diodes and I'm good.

    ICOM 7300 WITH A CARL BUILT 800HD.

    Not surprised that this combo sounds good. When I'm ready to get my next HF rig again it will be a 7300. They have so many menu adjustments available on the TX they can easily be adjusted to sound really good on AM and even with the factory hand mic. Of course can sound great on SBB with...

    Ground mounted cb vertical antenna

    Certainly doable but the high number of ground radials needed makes it quite a chore. Can't you elevate the antenna off the ground any at all?

    Getting Something of a Runaround from Radioddity. Question re Newer TYT9800

    My saga continues. Wanting to open up the permissions (MARS/CAP) mod on my 2023 TYT9800. Still haven't finished trying - have one more Software Set to try when a friend can make time to come over with his Windows laptop and try it for me. In the meantime, I wrote back in and asked them if they...

    So I got one of these and I'm very impressed with the performance. Has much better RX audio out the on board speaker than my 1st 5K. Power on VHF/UHF is said to be upped to 7 watts from 5 but I have no way to test that. RX AM/FM/USB from 18.0 ~1.3G as stated. AM Air Band RX is terrific. The...
