NW WA Meet / BS Thread

they’re still selling them? Only reason i bought one was because i was told they won’t be available anymore

still need to pick up a CB for general use

 

ya and I have about 8 of them because of all this

Here is the official notice from the FCC: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-18-980A1.pdf
And here is the citation issued to Baofeng: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-18-801A1.pdf
Lastly, here is an article that spells it out, in laymen’s terms: https://hackaday.com/2018/09/25/buy...cowls-at-unauthorized-frequency-transmitters/

 

Wanna sell me one ?

 

The pre-ban baefengs will tune gmrs channels. They were never legal to use on those channels.
Mine will also tune the BNSF frequency but I've never heard anything on it. I will resist the temptation to say "hi" to engineers who must be bored because they don't have to steer.

 

you can still get them off Amazon for cheap.

$40 UV-5R 8Watt Ham Radio Handheld Long Range UHF/VHF Radio with 2 Rechargeable Battery, Portable Radio for Adults with Earpiece, GV-771 Antenna, Programming Cable (3rd Gen)

UV-5R is cheapest and you can go up from there.

Ya, someone mentioned a BNSF freq but my radio's won't accept it. But I can still do all FRS/GMRS and MURS with a detachable antenna.

Check out Mirkit edition Baofeng on Amazon. They get an extra watt of TX power. Not that you need more power rather than a good antenna. But you can tune down the TX power and crank it back up if needed.

 

That dickbag of a bear was out at my place in the middle of the day. Good thing i have some friends who tossed me a few boxes of bean bag rounds. Plugs coming outta the nova, do you think it’s safe to dual wield 12gauges?

 

I think it isn't NOT safe

In for the inevitable duel wild 12 gauge

 

If this shit flies off between Puyallup and Oly don’t @ me. Leave me alone.

 

Least you have it strapped forward-aft so its not trying to flip in half like most people who put mattresses on top

 

I drove going 70 down I5 for 4 hours.

Why is my matress permanently bent ?

2017 TRD OR is this a recall ?

 

These discount RTTs are getting outta control

 

i put some thought into it (surprisingly) I’d be running one pump, as well as one semi-auto and the bean bags won’t cycle the semi....so I’m back down to one shotgun and my 10mm

I’ll send you the video Devon took of me scaring it off on Wednesday

 

well played sir

 

sounds fun! play in the snow?

 

Made it just fine lol

 

Hey is your avatar a NPC?

 

Are you trying to figure out how you know his avatar? When you do it's gonna piss you off

 

Can’t say, I don’t know you.

 

Doubt it

 

Oh you will.
