You'll be very disappointed. I'm still trying to put a decent base station together... lol. Not going to embarrass myself yet.

well, now you have some new motivation to get it finished... looks like a new build thread is in order...

Ok gents, I'm out of this discussion for a little while. I'm working on a decent post to sum up all this and open up a new discussion there.

Hell, I still want to spend $850 on the IGR!

so... moving on a bit... I have programmed in all of the FRS, GMRS, and MURS frequencies into my Baofung. I used the Motorola channel numbering for FRS (1-14) and GMRS (15-22). These are the channel numbers that the type-accepted walkie talkies use (the ones you buy at Walmart). I then programmed in the MURS frequencies starting at channel 31... so now I just set the radio to channel mode and set it to scan, then sit here and listen to whatever traffic is in my area... am I the only one doing this??? please tell me my wife isn't correct... she says I've lost it... sitting here listening to the scanner like her crazy old uncle...lol

You can also set it for the local HAM repeaters and listen to the traffic there. You can LISTEN to anything you want that's on the open frequencies, as long as your radio has the capability. Now, back to editing my post.

If you need help with that, let me know.

awesome! I'll research that a bit and see what I can do. I'm sure I'll need help at some point, but I'll let you lay the foundation for us all first.

I am game for a net sometime, at least a time we can try and connect on the air. Not sure how many Hams we have on here. One other note is if you do have the means to transmit and you are in an emergency situation it is permitable to transmit on bands you are not licensed for. Example is a medical emergency etc. 146.52 is the nation calling simplex frequency and is supposed to be monitored on the top of the hour - if you are in range usually some one is scanning it.

Granted I have not had my pioneer for a week yet but I made sure to take my handheld with me both times out so far. Along with a antenna I can string up in a tree for a little more coverage if needed.

Wouldn't do me any good.. I'd get fussed at for make'n inappropriate jokes! Lmao..

Man I'm happy you live close to help me through all of this. My mind is swimming now just from reading this thread.

Nope.. my dad policed for 35 years. We still have one in the garage that stays on. Like everything else... it's not as amusing as it once was with everyone so PC and hypersensitivity. I remember as a kid some of the old bunch telling jokes over the raidio and playing music, cutting up with dispatch. Now it strictly business... and although that's fine and amusing in its own right.. some things are just better left to the old way!

 

[JTW]

To the original intent... I'm leaning towards what @Manwell bought unless instructed otherwise. Well, that's after I go thru dad's old stuff!

Yep I have one just like. I take it, extra battery and HT with me when I travel and pre program in local freq. starting to pull kit together for taking on the pioneer. I have not considered installing a mobile but I do have an old 2m that I could install

Quick question about the emergency channel do they use repeaters throughout the country

No problem at all. There is a good club here locally as well and testing is done once a month - I think at the Rogers library. Lots of good repeaters around our area as well.

If you are referring to the 146.52 - no it is simplex only but all the Hams I know have that freq preprogrammed in their list of channels they scan.
