Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try replacing the fire ring with a p-259 connector. If that doesn't fix it I'll replaced the coax with a new untrimmed 18 foot cable. If that fails, I'll be back...

While this is true, the Boafeng is not certified for use on FRS, MURS, and GMRS. It's fully capable of operating on those frequencies but it's against FCC rules due to it's output power. That leaves only frequencies that require a technician license.

The fire ring was one of my suspicions. One of the these I'm weighing is spending $25 on a new coax and hope that fixes it or spend that same money on a stand alone swr meter and hope that the built in meter in the radio was giving a high reading. Most likely I'm going to get a new 18' coax...

After reading various articles on here I'm pretty sure all I needed to change were the control channels, however, I had already performed a factory reset to get a fresh start. With the new control channels I am now able to listen to talk groups on this system...

Turned my scanner on the other day and wasn't getting anything and I found that the area has been rebanded. What do I need to do to get my pro-106 up and running again? I'm hoping I can do everything on the unit as I don't have a programming cable. Also I noticed the database here still has the...

I bought a BC346XT from a local ham radio outlet today. I only spent 30 minutes with it but I can already see it's going to take some time to learn how to use it. A long time... Anyway thanks for the advice and knowledge base on on this site.

After some reading I found that GRE is in the process of shutting down. So it looks like it's down to Uniden. I'm interested in the 346XT,

So I money in my hot hands today to purchase a pro-164 trunking scanner from radio shack. Long story short radio shack has some of the worst customer service in retailing and I refuse to support them. Which is sad because I really wanted the 164. So I'm now looking for advice on a trunking...
