I don't know where to put this since there is no area for this radios so I thought GMRS was the closest.
I just bought a pair of this radios because of the privacy I can get and for the 1 watt of power, I have read that they work very good on line of sight, but not to good between buildings etc.
My plan is to mod them, I just removed the stock spring antenna and added a SMA connector so I can add better 900mhz antennas.
Right now I'm using a small antenna from my cellphone jammer (I know I know they are illegal, that's why I'm using parts from the jammer for this project, like the SMA connectors) Jammer is dead .
I will be testing them in different areas, the Nihm batteries that came with it are a joke 4.8v 750mAh, I will be using a higher capacity battery in some of the test to see if I can push more than 1 watt, I have no way to measure it but transmitting distance should improve if I'm right.
Text message is nice to have.
Here is a video my scanner trying to scan the trisquare frequency, NO LUCK. at one moment it stopped for maybe 2 seconds but when I transmitted I couldn't hear my voice.

Here is the radio with my scanner antenna a little big but it's for testing only.
