As it turns out the UV9R PRO or whatever turns out to have crap audio even with an external mic so it is being sent back to Amazon. The AR5-RM on the other hand got excellent reports beating out the Tidradio H3 pair on audio though the H3s were said to have great audio also.

Man I for once have the best timing. A local ham decided to install a GMRS repeater on a 200 ft tower in town bout 12 mi from me and allow open access. he just listed it on myGMRS I happened to both hear them talking on it and finally found the specs and got on there been a blast I haven't got...

I havent recieved the new " AI" powered Retevis handheld yet ... it's still in shipping. Guess we will see how it's audio is once it arrives. Still have to get base antenna up, waiting on coax, and the 2nd RA-25 mobile for the truck as 1st one was/is intended as the base radio. So far all the...

Well. I may have gone slightly black friday mad..... but after all my wife IS asian rofl.

Like many mobiles or bases it locks out the FRS frequencies 8-14 as receive only and the Retevis software won't allow changes to those. And CHIRP doesn't seem compatible as of yet.

Most of the stuff has arrived. I was disappointed in the RA-86. I was under the misaprehension that I could get it to program and transmit on all GMRS channels like the RA-25. Seems taint so. It went back in the box. It wasn't off amazon so can't return. Went on shelf never used lol. Guess it...

Mine wouldn't do the FRS channels either but was able to use the Retevis software to remedy that. Still waiting to set up but it's programmed.

I had further weakness. I don't even have all the previous ordered stuff in hand yet smh.

Well I'm in Texas may as well be "south of the border" does that count?

And again. I couldn't resist the black friday discount as I wanted a handheld mic/radio combo for truck. It may be an addiction. Hello my names Lonestarbandit and I'm a radio-holic.....

Will be using a retevis mobile as a base. It's here but not set up as waiting to install base antenna and coax etc when antenna arrives.

Hey we do whatever works right? I just got tired of 30amp rv cord to multiple extension cords and unplugging and replugging stuff so decided not this year lol my wires I used were 6ga. Talk about a pain to route lol!

Well my family is screwed then. They're stuck with me!

As the favorite question in this forum goes. Today I installed 50 amp generator inlet box and interlock kit to my panel and verify I say unto you with my two dual fuel parallel kit if needed 4600 watt each generators I shall have power throughout all of my lands (sans 220 because these...

I went a little overboard..... wife is viewing with alarm the growing pile of stuff both already in hand and arriving soon... (the mobile will be the base radio) all hail the wifely proclamation we have all heard...... "you do not use half the stuff you already have....." it still amazes me they...
