Do you use label channels.

[Looplow]

So does anyone label their channels and use them for designated radios? Maybe it’s me being autistic with the radios I have for playing Airsoft oft

FRS 1-8-15-22 Is used by my HT1000’s
Gmrs 15-22, plus Repeater Channels are used by my Motorola Sabers M1

Gmrs 1-22 used for all my astro sabers.
On my astro saber i use 1-22 pm gmrs

All my XTS series Is divided.
1-22 gmrs on analog. The p25 section is on 19-22.

MTS version is the same as the astro sabers.

How i name most of my channels.

Channel One-seven is a platoon bank.

Channel 15-18 is
A Tactical Channels/ Feild Comm Channel

Channel 19-22 is P25 uses.

Repeater 15 are a somewhat a dispatch channel.
I brought out all of my older radios from
The HT1000 2
A Midland XT511 22 Channel Emergency Crank Base Camp
15 Motorola Sabers
6 MT2000
And 4 Astro Sabers.

Crazy day.

I label all mine using an Ottendorf cipher so no one knows what channel it actually is.

I deciphered what you have and this is what I came up with:
The vision to see the treasured past comes as the timely shadow crosses in front of the house of Pass and Stow

I am more confused now than before I deciphered it.

So, you’re going P25 on GMRS?

Encrypted?

 

[kb3ouk]

Custom harvesting outfit near me runs P25 on FRS with some power behind it too, considering the range I've heard them at.

 

[K9KLC]

I've heard P-25 and DMR on FRS occasionally around here. Took me a minute to figure out what it was.

 

[K6GBW]

Digital sounds absolutely obnixious to people using FM. Disregarding the fact that it's not legal it's just not being a nice person. If people are going to do digital they should do it on a frequency where obnixiousess is expected! Like an itinerant!

 

[CaptDan]

I label all of mine, like FBI HQ, DEA HQ, Special Ops, WhiteHouse Desk, Field Ops, Command and such. I love the expressions on peoples faces when they peek at one of my radios and see what "channels" I'm talking on.

 

[Project25_MASTR]

Yes…because GMRS doesn't have deffined channel numbers (FRS does which includes GMRS channels but GMRS does not). This is why when you start looking at folks who have been using GMRS since before 2015, you'll often see repeaters labled as 550, 575, 600, 625, 650, 675, 700 and 725 or something more regional.

 

[Colin9690]

That's why I have mine named in a tactical but thoughtful manner:

1) Skoal
2) Cope Long Cut
3) Grizzly
4) Natty Daddy
5) King Cobra.
....
edit: @CaptDan I think we are speaking the same language on this topic

For GMRS repeaters, I label by geographical name using the City name. If there is more than one repeater in the same area then I use the name and the freq i.e. 550.

For the 462 Meg Interstitial channels, I label the channels GMRS 1-7. For the GMRS 462 Main simplex channels I label GMRS 15-22.

For my racecar Part 90 Business Radio Channels. I label by function name.

For the Part 90 Business Radio Service Off-Road VHF and UHF channels I label by geographical name and add a number to that name if more than one channel, i.e. Sedona 1, Quartzsite 3, etc.

 

[Colin9690]

That’s pretty neat you have a way of doing it that suits your particular needs.

For me personally, I just label them channel 1 through 22. I’ve been doing this long enough to recall by memory what is what.

But whatever gets the job done, right? 💪👍

Thats fine if you have only 22 channels, but the poor sapp like me with well over 800 channels programmed, I would have a difficult time remembering what would be programmed in channels 2 through well over 800 and in 43 zones.

I use the same method, I enter them alphabetically by city/town, then numerically by frequency [Tampa 575, Tampa 600, etc]

Two of my h-t's have 1000 channels, another has 4000, banks/zones are a necessity
For traveling, I have each bank/zone labeled for a state, again, alphabetically
Since I don't want to have to wade through all the FL channels, I also have a bank for Local & one for CFL/Central FL for when I visit Orlando
