AZ BS Thread 4²0

Chrip software should work. I can help you out.

 

I like the idea of a tw az net.

 

Any chance you could offer some training of working the repeaters? I can hear em just cant figure out how to talk to em..

Perhaps we could make a meet outta it and get a few to join and share the knowledge.. I know a few that would like to benefit form the info.

 

Cool, according to their list it does work on mine.

 

Best thing I've read all day!

 

You have to know what tones the repeater is using for TX and RX. I can show you this weekend. But a good start is getting an account set up at https://mygmrs.com/

 

Im also in for a meetup to learn about GMRS. I went to a class at Overland Expo last year and left with more questions than answers. I have a cheap Baofeng but would be happy to upgrade if I knew what I was doing.

 

I might not be the best guy to offer training but we can all learn together.

I dont think I can make the drive down the hill but maybe we could start a thread on it

 

I've got one and setup with a call sign, just cant figure out how to change functions on my handhelds or truck mount 275midland.. We can definitely look at em this weekend. I'm trying to get out as early as i can friday to make it to camp before its too dark. All the light should help, I'll text ya when i leave and maybe keep your radio on.

 

If you can hook it up to Chirp software, then use that app to adjust the settings.

 

Thanks, I'll look into it!

 

ah man I forgot that trip is this weekend. Have fun guys cant wait to see the pics.

 

Gonna be effing cold for my lizard skin.. Hopping the heater doesn't eff up again.

 

hahaha Just bring extra blankets and jackets. Fingers crossed for you.

 

I have a baofeng, and some midland handhelds, and a truck mounted, and a gmrs license. Not sure where to start to sort 'em all out. I'd appreciate joining in on the fun!

 

I've got a midland mounted in my truck, but beyond plugging it into my cigarette lighter, I have no idea how it works. I'm in for a GMRS lesson!

 

I've done a little research when i purchased my units and got the Baofengs figured out as far a quick program for radio to radio.. But if you have the Rugged Radios they are Per- Programed and dont think you can change the channels to your own customs like the Boafengs.. We tried this on the Cherry Creek run with a members and didnt pan out. I'll jump back into it and see if we can put something together. Midland handhelds/Truck mounts have been great as well, but setting up privacy channels is still new.

 

I don't have mine mounted...

 

I think getting everyone together is a great idea. I wont be there of course. But still. Make it a BBQ and BS session.
