I am building a repeater at my fathers hose. Would this be considered a Land Station (in which the height is 20-200ft) or a Base/Control station (where it is limited to 20ft above the structure its mounted to). OR, am I even understanding this the right way lol. I am fairly new to this, and I am...

I have searched around on the web and on the forum but I am still confused. Are 16 channels enough on a radio to use all of the licensed simplex and repeater frequencies of GMRS when the radio supports talk around? I count 15 memory channels necessary but I want to make sure that I don't miss...

I recently purchased 3 Motorola HT600's off of eBay. I have a computer running DOS for the programming along with the software and the proper serial cables. I am just started learning about these radios and Im trying to figure out what kind of license I need to legally operate them and what...

Hi all, I am interested in opinions about GMRS only or combo GMRS/FRS units, both handheld and base units. This is for my wife and myself. We both have Ham and GMRS licenses. What makes this request somewhat different is that we are both blind. About a decade ago I had a pair of GMRS handhelds...

Take a look at the following link: :: Uniden Australia :: That's a remote head mobile UHF CB transceiver with a seperate 60 channel 400-512 MHz scanning receiver, in one case, that Uniden manufactured for the Australian market. I would like to see Uniden or Whistler (or almost anyone else)...

What bandwidth do "bubble pack" radios use to transmit on the interstitial channels 1-7? All the bubble packs are combo GMRS and FRS radios these days, and unlicensed users can transmit on the shared interstitial FRS / GMRS frequencies (usually channels 1-7) as long as they have their radios set...

Does anyone ever call out on Ch1 just to see who's listening? I call out periodically, generally late at night because that is when I'm free. I've never gotten a reply though. I have heard one person calling out once on Ch.1 and I had a fun chat with him. Never found another person since. I do...

Hi guys so I have recently gotten really interested in gmrs radios. After owning my Radioshack Pro-164 scanner for about 3 years my interest in radios has greatly increased. My first step into an actual radio will be GMRS. So am looking for a budget GMRS radio and antenna. I will be using the...

Hello to all and thanks for taking the time to read this! I have recently purchased a Motorola RKR1225 repeater and had it pre programmed for GMRS. It did not come with a duplexer, so I purchased one of the 6 cavity 50 watt Chinese ebay duplexers and had the seller tune it to my high/low...

Hello I wanted to know if people notice that the FRS has a ton load of kids on it in the summer because of their break. Does anybody else notice this?

I had heard of a repeater up near Sturgis on 462.600 with a PL Tone of 110.9 Does anybody have any further information on it if it even exists at all ?

I know that MURS radios cannot exceed 2 watts. They cost about $175+. I have found a Two-Way radio that is User-Programmable that I can program to that frequency/frequencies. But, its 5 watts, when I program it will it go down to 2 watts or can I use it? Just trying to save money! (These are...

Hello all, I have a couple of questions regarding GMRS, GMRS Repeaters, Licensing, and people using those repeaters. A bit of background first: I am looking to set up a radio system for my boy scout camp. We are a small, exactly 1 square mile area of land with only trees and maybe a building...

I am a first-time scanner owner. I recently purchased a BCD396XT with a Watson SMA-881 Super Gainer. I am using ARC-XT Pro and RR to program and so far everything is going great. I live on the 17th floor in a condo so I am getting pretty good coverage on several local South Florida agencies...
