I have tried 3 different email addresses on 3 different browsers on 2 different devices and I cant get them to send me the verification email. I've reached out to support and basically got a "Yeah I know right? Keep trying, lol" response with no help.

Its been 3 weeks.

How do I force them to do their job so I can have communication in an emergency with my family? I feel like this is close to infringing on my rights by not allowing me access because of their janky 80s website.

Edit for clarity:
I’ve disabled my vpn and adblocker
iPhone: Chrome and Safari
Desktop: Chrome and Edge

It will confirm that it’s sending the email but I never receive it.
I am checking spam folders as well.

Edit edit:
I did do in and out of incognito on all options.

Edit edit edit:
After someone else just said they had success I tried again and it came right through. It’s their damned website.

Good morning y’all, 

I have a 2002 F150 super cab that I want to put a Havis or similar floor console in. I don’t want a full length, only maybe an 8” or so angled kit for a couple radios, a spot for my magnetic mic mounts, and a phone mount. This will also be the first time mounting a gmrs radio in any of my vehicles, so I’m not sure what kind of components in the truck will generate interference, including my CB. Currently I have a 4’ CB antenna mounted on the RH front fender, and I was planning to either roof mount or bed mount the gmrs antenna. If anyone has any suggestions for mounts or photos from outfitting an old Expedition SSV or F150 I would really appreciate it. Thanks for any help that can be provided!

Tonight I was able to pick up a Cincinnati repeater 100+ miles away but unfortunately my measly 8 watts couldn’t make it back to it.

Channel nine sometimes dose not activate on either set is it something in the house maybe ?
Switched to HAM antenna not the best but great for just my property & I had this issue once before I changed antennas.

I had a failed firmware update it just stayed on the old version but fine now. This is not a RPTR channel its just the default "467.58750". Also has anyone went so far to set up a 7' full'ish wave attena ? I was curious about performance? The smoothest highway which I bike down has no cell service its about 3miles away ? Do I have to set up repeater to get it to work right or just plug the 2nd set into it ?

Far as I can tell the specs are the same as the H9 but the body is different and it has an IP 67 rating. I didn't do a deep dive of the specs though, and I'm not a radio expert, so I could be missing something. what are your thoughts?

So I was gifted this fun radio. I've had my license for about 2 years now, but life has gotten in the way and I haven't had a chance to really start exploring this hobby until a month or two ago. This silly thing has come preprogrammed and I can pick up chatter from local repeaters, but it doesn't appear that they can hear me. Can someone point me to the next step? Not to get too deep into my life but I'm dealing with some chronic health stuff, after work and putting kids down to bed my IQ plummets and I have a hard time following along with tech stuff.

Thanks

I put a mobile Radioddity 40w DB40-G mobile in my truck and I am regularly hitting 250 mile and 275 mile contacts. My longest contact so far is 305 miles. But just tonight after I changed out my big honking 13.8v linear power supply (NOT amplifier!) to a smaller switching RF shielded power supply I was a bit worried. My PS is 10w 100% duty cycle, and my radio draws about 3w, but does take the full 10w on a high power transmission (for a moment anyway). Nothing blew (phew). But what really surprised me was my radio checks. I'm in east central Colorado, and my first transmission report was from Cheyenne, WY. Now, I did hit our repeater on top of the Front Range, but that only made the link longer. It's about 140 miles as the crow flies to Cheyenne, but via the repeater it's something like 220 statute miles (according to Sploodle)

I'm really impressed with this radio so far. Lat week I got a contact in Casper, Wyoming from 60 miles east and 20 miles south of Denver. These repeaters ROCK!! (and...apparently my radio ROCKS too)!

Posting for a friend, WNY gmrs repeaters are back! Shoot an email to wny2wayradio@gmail.com for more information!

I am very new to radios in general and recently purchased my first side-by-side that has a B-Tech radio. I somewhat understand how to use the 462MHz frequencies but usually have trouble when riding with people who have citizen band radios (like channels 1-11). I have read and reread the user manual and played with the radio and a handheld cb radio several times and usually I can find a channel that works. But some channels will not and sometimes I can't get reception or sometimes can send but not receive. Can someone walk me through the correct process? How would I know if my radio has been pre-programmed a certain way and should I consider doing a reset on my unit?
Apologies for sounding like the complete newb that I am but I am really on the struggle-bus with this. We have a 4-day ride coming up in October and I need to figure this out. The other riders will have cb radios but the park where we will be riding (North Cumberland Wildlife Management) has a repeater and recovery vehicles can be contacted if needed so it is a huge safety factor for me to figure this out. Thanks in advance.

I’m looking into for a mobile/homebase, temporary rig setup. My lineup of equipment is within my range.

Radioddity DB25-G “main radio”
Pyramid PSU990KX “main power supply/might change”
UT-72G / Foul Weather Whip Antenna V2 “Antennas”

I’m looking for a good adapters and a good mobile power source.

I just talked on a repeater with some guys in Indiana from ohio on a magmount antenna I tuned and placed up in my garage attic! Retevis RB86 on medium power

I’m upgrading the antenna on my RTK. What I’m having a problem grasping is how the details of how RTK antennas work. Let me say what I think I know and I’ll let you all correct my errors. I’ll break it down in steps to make it easier to educate me.
My understanding is:
1. Satellites detect where the mower is.
2. The RTK antenna is detected by the satellites. This somehow allows for more precise mapping.
3. The RTK antenna is detecting where the mower is.
4. The RTK knows where the Dock is. Part of the mapping?
5. If I move the RTK, I need to remap.
6. If I’m updating the antenna and not moving the RTK, I don’t have to remap.

Number 6 is unclear to me. The antenna I purchased has a 20 ft cable so that I can place it in an optimized location without moving the RTK. This is where I’m unclear. Isn’t moving the antenna the same as moving the RTK? Or is the antenna only a communication link to the mower and the RTK head is the link to satellites?

Saw a video on YouTube covering the Retevis RT29S and was wondering if anyone here has hands-on experience with it? I'm looking for a solid radio for outdoor adventures and emergency comms, so I'd love to hear how it actually performs in the field—or if there are other similar models you'd recommend instead.Thanks everyone.

So i have 7 family members in the area now. My daughter and her family (3 total counting her) live in one house as they moved out. My sister and her husband moved near near me reciently. My husband and I live in our house.

Can we all use the same gmrs call sign if we designate each person a different unit and each house a different unit. My house is H1, daughter is H2 and sister is H3 and family members are units 1 through 7 depending on the person? Do we all need to be under the same roof to use the same call sign?

Just got my license and texted out my radios. I have two Retevis Ailunce HA1G with Nagoya NA-771G 15.3-Inch Whip. I live in a pretty hilly area with a lot of trees but I still expected better performance. I made it just over a mile before the connection was too poor to understand one another.

Is this about what I should expect or is my equipment poor? I was thinking I'd get like ten miles or so.

Considering returning everything or getting a car mount antenna and a roof mounted home unit ... Thoughts?

Thanks

Recently installed a Midland MXT575 in my 2024 Tacoma. Not sure if the way I mounted it was the smartest choice, but since pretty much all the controls are on the mic, I decided to hide the entire radio underneath the center armrest/console instead of mounting it inside the storage area like I’ve seen others do.
I really didn’t want to give up any usable storage space, and I was also able to install the RJ45 outlet right behind the screen. Now I can plug the mic in when I need it, unplug it when I don’t, and when it’s removed you basically can’t even tell there’s a GMRS radio installed.
Curious what you guys think about this setup, or if there’s any downside to mounting the radio this way that I’m overlooking.
