Yep, I've got both because I want my family to have access to comms. Chris WRJI287 KN6LEH On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 6:53 PM Chuck Hast wrote: > > Every one that I know on GMRS here in the Central OK > area is also a ham... That is probably the reason. > > > On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 7:53 PM Nicola J

Every one that I know on GMRS here in the Central OK area is also a ham... That is probably the reason. On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 7:53 PM Nicola Jayne Hodson < nicola.jayne.hod...@gmail.com> wrote: > with all due respect ( which could be very little) perhaps because they > also have GMRS licences

Why are hams playing in FCC controlled GMRS.. If you land on a GMRS repeater input I suspect FCC will be knocking on your door. Bob K7BD On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 12:51 PM Paul L. Schmidt wrote: > Officially, there are no GMRS channel numbers, although FRS channel > designations are frequently us

Officially, there are no GMRS channel numbers, although FRS channel designations are frequently used. - Paul / K9PS / WQXZ291 On Wed, 2022-02-23 at 10:45 -0800, Chris Romp wrote: > Agreed - I was trying to figure out if the channel/frequency mapping > is a Part 95E requirement. If it is, I cannot

Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Channel Locking

Right - I have other GMRS type-certified radios that let me put any GMRS frequency into any "channel" on the radio. The ones that are locked are difficult, because you can't (for example) have two different "625" repeaters with different tones in memory. So my hope is that we can -- at least for t

You know guys, it just could be that some brain decided to start at the lowest frequency and worked their way to the highest. KD2YEM Frank *Be sure to strip out all email addresses before forwarding and help prevent Identity Theft.* *To Team 6: " people sleep **peaceably** in their beds at n

Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Channel Locking

Agreed - I was trying to figure out if the channel/frequency mapping is a Part 95E requirement. If it is, I cannot find it. The only place I can find a reference with channels is under Part 95B, "FRS Channels," but the equivalent (?) regs for GMRS simply state the frequencies allowed, which makes s

Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Channel Locking

OK Chris. In most radios that come pre-programmed by the manufacturer, as opposed to the random channels that a manufacturer seems to leave in there after testing, I believe they are locked by the firmware in order to comply with a country's frequency allocations and get type approval in that co

Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Channel Locking

Hi Nigel, In the case of the RB26 that doesn't appear to be true: I have one in my hands that's configured for repeater 18 (625) on the radio's channel 1, and they seem perfectly happy to radio clone that configuration to other units. It may be that other radios do enforce it in the firmware (e.g

Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Channel Locking

Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Channel Locking

Thanks, Jim, for that info. I've reached out to Retevis to see if they have any input. Would it basically be a requirement for CHIRP to support assigning any GMRS frequency to any channel for Retevis to change their OEM software, even if the radio supports it? Thanks again, Chris > On Mon, Feb 2

] GMRS Channel Locking Hello, I have a question about how CHIRP handles GMRS radios, e.g. BTech GMRS V1 and Retevis RB26. I've noticed that CHIRP enforces that GMRS channels follow the FRS channel number and frequency pairings, e.g. Channel 1 is 462.5625, Channel 18 is 462.625, etc. I&#x

Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Channel Locking

Hello, I have a question about how CHIRP handles GMRS radios, e.g. BTech GMRS V1 and Retevis RB26. I've noticed that CHIRP enforces that GMRS channels follow the FRS channel number and frequency pairings, e.g. Channel 1 is 462.5625, Channel 18 is 462.625, etc. I've been trying to find in the FCC
