Most fines have gone to businesses or small fire departments for using FRS channels.

I picked up some BaoFeng MURS for around my property. I'll be getting the standard units once the tyrant unlocks the state and I can take the basic ham test.

> That guy was licensed, being dumb, and refused to stop multiple times... not even close to what we're talking about, and SUPER rare. @EDDSkitz Anyone including Business is allowed to use FRS...Walmart used to until they discovered MURS.

MURS? @redbeard

THEY ARE PULLING ALL COPS INSIDE THE PRECINT

National Guard Rapid Assessment and Initial Detection (RAID) teams. Possibly deployed from 1025 Broadway St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413. Or 600 Cedar St, St Paul, MN 55101 Need to check out those places for activity. Getting ears on the guard out there is proving a serious challenge.

Finally got the Baofeng usb programming cable in. Anyone have experience with the Tone programming aspect of chirp?

What do you need to know?

The channel i'm trying to program in uses CTCSS. That's not an option in the drop down menu. So, i'm just trying to see if there's an alternative, or if the UV-5R is simply not compatible

Absolutely compatible

Do you have the radio type set properly in chirp?

I believe so, but this is my first time running the program, so it's possible i messed up. It seemed to download the current settings from the radio just fine, and the filename properly calls out a Baofeng UV-5R.

Should just be a column called tone squelch

https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersToneModes could it possibly be tone mode set to "Tone"?

the description seems to match what i've seen about CTCSS

I'll need to check out what it means when it's talking about the different squelch modes/style

@EDDSkitz okay, looking at CTCSS a bit further, definitely seems like your ToneSquelch is the way to go, thanks m8

No problem... Tone Squelch is the TS in CTCSS

Lots of step by step stuff on YouTube for shortwave

They are all the same

Any blog frequency list

🗿

Any of you comms guys have a high quality Sat Phone reccomendation?

Uv 5r 3 for 40 not programmed. Too good to be true or a good steal. Local mom and pop “radio shack” style place that I frequent. I’ve never used nor programmed them if it’s a go, how hard is it to do yourself?

Anyone have a recommendation for freq's to use for Texas teams chatter?

FRS is all you have legally

Any HAM operators in range of lake charles? DM me

So I got an actual radio, (cheap as shit beofang but its what I could afford) however it's come to my attention I have no idea how to use it and the manual doesn't help much other than what each menu setting does. I am curious as to whether we have a set range of channels to use or some kind of general plan on how to communicate if the networks are restricted. I'm not talking about comms within your group/circle as you can chat and come up with a plan. More so taking about future communications to outside groups of bois or constitutionalists etc. I've confirmed the radio at least picks up fm local stations.

Scroll around on the comms pages but generally Murs3 and a few HAM stations.

@MyKoxFoknFlopn I just got this and the cable to program them with. No idea what I'm doing either. Figured no better time to find out than while everything is for sure up and running.

Idk if these even need programmed tbh. Lmao

Get chirp, watch YouTube... way easier than anyone here explaining the basics...

Then come back for the advanced questions.

May have wasted $10 on the cable. Yeah, I got chirp already. Definitely wasn't about to ask questions about it unless I got really stuck on something. Was just giving him an idea of costs for what I believe is very cheap radios.

Nah, being able to program on PC is way better than the stupid menus

If the cable was expensive, maybe... but it's so cheap and chirp is free.

@Soulraiser those UV-5RA do need to be programmed well for better functionality I forgot the program you can download to your computer but you can do it all on a spread sheet basically and name them with options then upload those to the radios. I have one and it’s great

@Soulraiser I just saw what someone suggested it’s chirp like EDD said it’s awesome.

So is this where general questions for help on getting comms set up go?

Anybody know a good PTT to link a Beofeng to Peltor Contacs?

Disco32.com

www.disco32.com

Damn, hyperlink isn't working.

is there any good info someone can give me or a site to look at to get started into getting good comms and understanding what i should be buying and how to use them? i have no idea where to start or even what i should be looking for

ill even take a youtube beginners comm guide link. Also, if there is somewhere else i should go to ask about this tuff lmk

*stuff

t.rex arms has put out a couple decent videos recently

ok thanks

Just got a baofeng uv-82 today. Anyone else have one? Also I need a Ham license to transmit on that? Even if it’s just me and a buddy communicating to each other?

> Just got a baofeng uv-82 today. Anyone else have one? Also I need a Ham license to transmit on that? Even if it’s just me and a buddy communicating to each other? @GRANITE There is nowhere you can use that radio legally without a license.

However if you read up on the FRS and MURS radio services, those are free to use but only by certain types of radios. The baofeng doesn’t qualify but being like CB, there is little to no enforcement and you can typically get away with using those frequencies.

Just make sure to program the channels to narrow or wide as required for compatibility with the bubble pack radios sold in stores.

Anyone else been following the ATAK/CivTAK development? https://www.takciv.org/

@redbeard have you ever messed with data over UHF stuff? I'd like to figure out how to connect CivTAK to a radio without needing a real 152 or a MPU5

Wondering if any DMR radios can do this

FCC are steppers just like ATF. Imagine if the NFA actually said you need a license to fire any gun. That's what the Communications Act of 1934 says for radio transmitters

Yup

That being said I have used a mix of certified and non certified radios on GMRS (and the fucking kids always forget to say the callsign) and nobody has bothered me yet. But I'm not downtown in a city either

Just don't make it sound too official or military because your biggest risk on those channels is someone hearing your squad calling for arty or whatever and calling local fuzz

For that you have to hide better 😜

Airsofters use FRS all the time, never even heard of an issue

There's very little actual enforcement of radio violations

You basically have to piss off someone with a public safety/airport/broadcast license multiple times and they will politely ask you to stop first. Only if you persist do you get the fines

A Baofeng on FRS it's basically impossible to piss people off. Maybe if you get a tall antenna and swear at kids? You'd have to try...

I may or may not have witnessed someone standing outside FCC headquarters with a wideband transceiver yelling "fuck the FCC" on a .gov frequency

No consequences

@GRANITE I have a half dozen UV-82s. Lemme know if you have questions.

Lmaooo

Yea man I do lol wtf is FRS

@bootsandboys

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service

It's 22 frequencies you can use on the Baofeng. Not legal, but the law isn't enforced. They're listed on the wiki, like if you type in 462.6125 on the Baofengs and make sure menu 25 (Shift) is OFF, you and a buddy can talk

I'd avoid 462.5625 because it's the default channel and there's lots of kids and stuff on it. And the ones that are multiples of 25 like 462.550 might have people who are really serious about their hobby using long range radios.

Assuming you are rural you might get better distance using the MURS channels, for example type in 151.940

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Use_Radio_Service

☝️☝️☝️all good info

Frequencies to avoid include 156.210 and 151.325 because that's NH state police. If you actually want to decode what they're saying you need a $200 radio ;)

But you can listen to NH fire departments on the Baofeng which is nice

I say that to warn you that choosing the wrong frequency to talk on can get you in trouble, the Baofeng won't stop you from committing arrestable offenses

If you're around any p-25 800mhz stuff you'll need to spend over 500 on a radio that'll actually do decent. I finally upgraded to the Uniden SDS100, spent 650 on that.

Oh yeah if there's simulcast you have to buy top of the line. I just happen to be familiar with the systems near GRANITE and they're 99% P25 conventional VHF

I just got another whistler ws1040 which works well on the non-simulcast P25 phase 1 9600baud trunks near me

$200-300 depends how lucky you get

I'm in the northeast corridor, around Philly, so the radio spectrum here is fucked

Ah yes full of noises and complex ass systems
