The Crosstown 675 repeater….We cover most of the city and many suburbs with our 50 watts and 17’ Comet GP9-NC antenna. We are especially strong at the Airport, Mall of America, Minnehaha Falls, Lake Nokomis, Fort Snelling, East and West Lake Street, the Crosstown Highway, Cedar Ave, the West...

I cross the Kingston - Rhinecliff bridge often and encounter what I believe to be DMR transmissions. It effects multiple channels, like 4, 7, 14 and 22. Essentially the radio is useless when I'm approaching or on the bridge and it seems to have gotten worse the past few months. I've used two...

Hi all: I've recently acquired a few older Icom LMR radios; specifically, an F3 (VHF) and a set of F4 (UHF) radios, that I would like to reprogram into the MURS/FRS/GMRS bands. I have the necessary software (Icom CS-F3) to program them with, as well as the cable(s) and adapters. The problem...

Hello, I've had my Radioditty DB-20G for a while now, and there is still not a CHIRP driver made for it yet. Because CHIRP won't take .dat files for code plugs, I have been forced to use the software provided by Radioditty. Does anyone know if this is currently being worked on? I know CHIRP is...

Selling my XTS 2500. Great radio for ham UHF, P25 and GMRS. Looks and works like new. Included are the radio, antenna, two lithium batteries, belt clip, Impres AC drop-in charger, and mobile drop-in charger / mobile mount. Original tags are intact.

forgive me for I’m not sure if this is the right area of the forum to post this, so I was in a a general discussion with another employee from the hospital I work at in the I.T dept. I was asking them about the radios they had purchased for the ED staff to use SAMCOM FPCN30A radios that are on...

APX 6000 UHF. Can they be programmed so the PL/DCS codes can be changed on the fly? Selectable list? GMRS use on the road.

According to this popular YouTuber, the FCC is finally taking action to end the practice of linking GMRS repeaters. It should be noted that it is common practice for the FCC to not publicly release information when conducting enforcement actions. Even when a rogue BDA jammed my public safety...

Does anyone hear any activity on the national calling frequency on 462.675?

I don't know if this might be a dumb question. I'm new to the XTS platform and don't fully understand the Trunking systems, but is it possible to have a XTS 3000 set up for trunking without a repeater or control point on analog? I would like to communicate with some Baofeng type radios and...

Hello and thanks in advance for reading a newbies post. I am new to this so please be gentle lol. I bought a Baofeng BF-5RH handheld off Temu and have a question about using it to communicate with a friends Motorola T7450 on GMRS-1 462.5625 MHz. 1) I set my Baofeng to 462.5625 MHz. 2) When...

Hello. Are there existing Los Angeles GMRS repeaters that are either open or open to new members? If so please let me know what they are, or where to get more info. Thank you!

I have recently purchased the Ha1g GMRS Radio from Ailunce (Retivis) and have been very pleased with the product, except one issue... I've noticed that you can not manually transmit DTMF tones via pressing the PTT and the corresponding DTMF number keys. I know that you can pre-program your own...

I have two scenarios for this. Scenario 1: The FCC has decided to listen to the people and upgraded the FRS/GMRS band making it similar to PMR446 in the EU. What this comes with; - Extention of the FM GMRS channels by adding 15 more channels (5 HT-HT, 5 extra duplexed channels.) - And adding 20...

I know it says we can't submit anything using common services (MURS, GMRS, etc.) but could we make an exception to this? This would go for certain businesses or attractions that are grandfathered to use GMRS. Because Allegan uses 462.700 MHz for city events, and there is (I think?) a hotel that...

New to radios and recent GMRS hobbyist. I have a VX-459, software and cord. I thought I'd see if I could program it for GMRS/FRS. Is this even possible? Is this strictly a VHF radio? I've got my channel list and corresponding details entered but I'm getting "Frequency Band Mismatched" when I...

Is there anybody out there that knows how to reprogram MCS 2000 Motorola Radios? A few friends and I just got a handful of these radios and we would like to program them to a different frequency. I have the RIB cables, The CPS software was given to me by the same guy that programed the radios...

Hello everyone, i am in Massachusetts, in a a suburban area, more building than houses, but only 3 family buildings at the most, not much open areas, growing population, 30-45 minutes from the main city. I own a multifamily, legal 2 families with a finish attic, so like 3 family. Which antenna...
