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...

You can copy the below XML code, then right click in the "Zones" section of CPS 2.0 and click "Paste" and it will create zones for you for FRS and GMRS, respectively. Please note: Do not use this to transmit GMRS or FRS on non-GMRS / FRS licensed radios. Remember, FRS and GMRS are licensed to...

First, please accept my apology if this subject has been done before. I am a total noob. I am trying to connect to Arizona repeaters (actually an repeaters will work) but mostly Arizona. Is there s "Repeaters for Dummy's" site somewhere? I am trying to learn how to connect to some repeaters but...

Hey all, I'm pretty new to GMRS and radio in general. I have a Jeep JK (which I know isn't the ideal vehicle for radios) and just installed a Retevis RA86, and am looking for suggestions for which antenna, mount, and location I should go with. I was considering the Midlands MXTA25 ghost antenna...

Since I don't have to equipment to tune my own antenna yet, I want to know what antenna can bring out the most power from my mobile radio setup for GMRS. Give me your recommendations!

Are there any GMRS nets for skywarn? I'd like to have some repeaters to add.

Hello, I was wondering how long did it take for you to get your GMRS license? The reason is, I applied for mine last Thursday and I have been waiting since. I sadly cannot look at the license manager since it's down which is probably the reason why I haven't gotten my license yet. But as I'm...

Hello All I have been planning on getting an xts2500 because I have been wondering what software(programming) I need and if I could use UHF/VFH frequencies will it be good because I plan on using ham/gmrs frequencies.

FYI..successful in programming BF GM 15 Pro with TIDRadio Wireless Bluetooth Programmer. Although it said that device software driver was in beta it worked like a charm. The app is okay, has some quirks but much much better than hand punching channels to monitor. I gave up desktop computers and...

What radio would be very useful and have great transmit and receive for either band; an LMR (type) radio or something cheap like a Wouxun or Midland? ofc both are on the same power levels (2w for MURS, and 5 to 50 watts for GMRS)

I'm seeking advice for a dual band mobile antenna for GMRS uhf + NOAA weather radio (NWR) vhf. I'll be transmitting only on GMRS, and VHF will be for 162 MHz receive only. I'm a meteorologist gathering weather data & stills/video near storms so NOAA receive is important, and I want the...

I have a midland mxt 275 I am having issues with. I am trying to get it on our local 675 repeater with a 156.7 tone. I turned on the repeater function. Repeater channels appear. I go to repeater channel 20. Rt is set to 25 Ct is set to 25. I transmit and it goes through. When someone tries to...

What are some antenna recommendations for car to car communication on GMRS? Not much of an antenna expert. Just purchased 2 CDM1550 UHFs and planning doing the install next weekend. Thanks!

I bought an IC-4100A that has already had the MARS/CAP modification (or so I’m told). I can’t find much about this mod online for this particular radio. I don’t think the mod was fully completed and don’t think the transmit if fully unlocked. Either it wasn’t fully modified or possibly there...

Howdy I have all these in a spreadsheet, and even though not all are active in my area, i want to program them into my radio. I cannot find an import in Chirp that allows this. Frequency FRS channel FRS power FRS bandwidth GMRS power GMRS bandwidth Notes 462.5625 MHz 1 2 W 12.5...

Hello, I have a MXT275 radio and the Midland magnetic antenna mount in the center of the truck cab and an MXTA25 3db antenna and it was all working fine but I decided to reroute the cable and purchased an extension cable but when I fully plug in the cable to the radio I get nothing, when I pull...

Howdy, my first full GMRS radio- wondering about the difference between the antenna and how it affects TX and RX- when to use each thanks

Hello I am trying to transmit on 462.650. According to the web, there is no CTCSS codes needed, however when I try to transmit, I get no response. Can you help me figure out why no one can hear me? With Freq’s that have no step and CTCSS tones or DCS tones, what could the issue be I have my...

Hey all Quantar experts, I've searched for DAAAAAYS now and unable to find answers to this question. Long story short, I have a 300' tall GMRS repeater located in Naperville, IL. Currently it is set up with several tones (All are DPL tones) and it's been working great for my needs with my...

I am receiving a CW ID on 462.675 in Atlantic City. CTCSS/DCS scan is on but does not decode anything. This is not either of the two nearby repeaters ACY675 in Atlantic City or LEH675 in Little Egg Harbor Twp. Does anyone know what I am receiving? Is it an unlisted or new repeater?
