    Is there a reason you NEVER flipped UP the antenna for better reception?

  • @xsmatt81
    @xsmatt81 10 років тому +1

    just ordered one. Will mostly use it for AM/Talk radio..but the idea of a emergency radio is something i needed.
    I know FRS don't need a license, but don't you need one to transmit on GRMS??

    • @boyke2412
      @boyke2412 7 років тому

      GMRS license through the FCC web site. #1 No testing required. #2 Fill out the form. #3 Pay the 70.00 licensing fee. #4 The license is for 10 years. #5 the license covers your family members to use GMRS radios. Any GMRS radio.

      @donalderickson-si8ww 11 місяців тому

      Check out industry Canada's regulations before using two way radio feature in the US there is no longer a license requirement under part 95 E regulations amended part E 2017 in effect January 1st 2018. FRS/GMRS channels 1-22 channels 23-30 require a license renewable every 5 years for repeater operations.

    @FDM33510 6 років тому +1

    Have you done any real world range testing with it performing as a true "Base Camp" rig? City vs. Woodlands? I am trying to figure out if the transceiver is any better than that of an GXT1000.....??? I think Midland is missing the boat. They need to produce a repeater capable 40 watt unit just like this! And have it so you can use the hand mic with the option of hand

    • @scaprod558
      @scaprod558 6 років тому

      2 things. This is 5 watts and there is a PTT button on the mic.
