Different antennas do different things, longer is not always better. That antenna you bought will work fine. That frequency range is what its tuned for. It doesnt just stop working outside of it. Honestly for GMRS 6 inch quarter wave antenna would work just fine and a 12 inch half wave...

Good practice is to run at the lowest power you can get away with and still make a good signal out. This keeps you from polluting the airwaves too much and keeps internal temps on your radio lower. Running it on high power all the time can cause internal failures especially if you exceed the...

Download your image file. Copy my data from my channel table into your image. Select all the rows and copy then go to your image and paste. Then upload your image back into the radio with the new data in it

Now what you can change on these GMRS radios. 1)channel names up to 8 characters I think. 2)ctcss or dcs tones 3)you can add channels past 30 but all it will let you do is listen you can't transmit on those channels. What I use it for as as kind of a "phonebook" so I have a reference for other...

I removed my custom tags but left "OVLND" on channel 15 which is the OLB GMRS channel and left the travel tones on the repeater pairs. 23-30 are repeater channels as originally setup you won't use those for simplex. Do not just try to upload this straight to your radios. Re-download the...

Ok I see your post over there now. Hold on let me pull my stock config for my BTECH V1, you should be able to make it work with your 50x1 as well.

Youve got them all messed up. The radios wont transmit on anything past channel 30. Dont pull the "stock config" FRS GMRS drom chirp its still setup for the old pre 2017 rules. Reset to the stock image. Did you save the original image/configuration before changing it?

Yup good number of us on here.

FRS and GMRS frequencies are the same. Have been since 2017. Only differences are in power and bandwidth requirements. Reload the stock configurations in both radios and go again. As far as I know those two radios shouldn't even be reprogram-able with exception of CTCSS and DCS codes and...

Currently use an electric saw ran off of my inverter. Looking to move to lithium Ion powered in the near future. Don't really care for gas for my uses. If I need anything more than what I've got I probably don't need to go that way :D

I typically kept fuel in it all the time (never failed to light of or seemed like fuel was bad even after longer intervals of storage. But would bleed off any pressure I had pumped into it by pointing the filler cap up and loosening it just enough to bleed pressure. Don't just spin it off...

I've never seen a state trooper's vehicle with a CB in it. Maybe the commercial vehicle enforcement guys? I traverse I-30 for work multiple times a week. Still plenty of traffic down there.

The midlands are good little turn key units. For the same cost or less you could be setup with a commerical spec Motorola or Midland. Think radios like fire/police/ems use. These are surplus units you can find on Ebay for well under 100 dollars all day long. The Kenwood TK-880 is a very...

Gila is very nice as well. Carson is another good one and covers a lot of land area. Spent a week in Carson Ntl Forrest and never stayed in the same spot twice and had beautiful views each time.

If you don't want the bells and whistles the 40 dollar radios will get the job done just fine. I got a Radioddity unit a little one that works just fine. I do like the auto squelch feature it has.

Not sure on year but there were ones that popped up in the rear only like the factory 2 door rear windows and a manual crank version. There's always been debate over if there even were OEM sunroofs or if they were all dealer installed options. Some folks on other forums have been able to show...

A folding Gerber version of the military folding shovel and a battery powered sawsall. Should probably toss a little hatchet under my seat.

Your dates are a little off but overall accurate. XJ's first model year was 84. YJ started gettting the 4.0L in 91 when the HO 4.0 came online not 92. Up to that point they used a carbed 4.2L from older Jeeps. XJ t-cases in early year models (like the first 3 model years when they still...

Tuna comes in the single serve package in so many flavors now you can use it to do all kinds of stuff.

Not sure why some of the pictures are showing up as "x" but if you right click and open image in new tab it should show up. When I go in to edit the post they show up on the edit screen. Not sure what's going on there.
