My GMRS and Ham radio that I practice with. One day I'll buy a Yaseu or Kenwood though. Wouxun for GMRS is excellent. The badge is just good to learn and not expensive.

If you already own and operate GMRS radios as a part of your emergency preparedness kit, have you upgraded the antenna, or do you stick w factory? Factory antennas are, well, a compromise. Consider upgrading. #gmrs #emergency #prep #antenna #radio SignalGuides.com

I made a cable today for my new antenna which let me place it almost as high as I can and still use it downstairs and I had two-way comm with an FRS handheld in a place previously _utterly unreachable_ due to hilltop and I have excite :D

(I was able to move it another 10cm up which isn't much […]

I didn’t mention this in the post, but I should’ve: One of the nice things about GMRS/FRS is that cops can’t fuck with you over it. Not like they can with an Amateur-band radio. FRS – since I didn’t define it – is Family Radio Service, and little FRS handhelds _still_ cost like nothing and despite that work extremely well. I paid like $10 each buying a three-pack two years ago. That same three-pack is $45 now, thanks to Shitstain, but $15 is still a pretty low barrier to entry. And in some areas, if you bring an Amateur-class radio to a protest, cops can add on possession of a police scanner in the pursuit of whatever made-up crime they’ve decided to charge you with. Basically, it’s an extra layer of charges. Even if your individual handheld unit can’t scan police frequencies, they can still hold you longer while they “determine” that it can’t. Plus, those things cost money and they might decide to just steal – excuse me, “seize” – it, making you sue them to get it back, since theft by cop is legal. But with a cheap little fixed-channel radio there’s none of that bullshit. Even if they steal it from you, it’s $15. I can live with losing $15, so they’re pretty well worth it just for that.

Huh, I can't quoot my own comments from my blog. That's interesting, since posts are fine.

I might want to look into that, too.

Anyway, here's why FRS radios are good at protests:

Looking up towards the peak of a roof from inside the attic, a series of beams rise up to a crossbeam upon which sits an antenna going up to the top of the space. A piece of paper pinned to the crossbeam reads "GMRS" indicating that this is the location for the GMRS antenna.

Now it's time for #GMRS licensees to post their #FCC call signs! We've already asked for ham and old #CB call signs. GMRS users are proud of their call signs, too. Comment with your call sign below and tell us what state or territory you are located in. Let's go!

The back view of the board assembly from the previous post. It doesn't really snow much more except you can see how the standard power cable plugs into the back of the power supply, and the antenna plugs into the back of the radio, also using a very standard UHF connector.

Left three-quarters view of the radio board, with the GMRS mobile base station radio on the left, a gap in between with power connectors and microphone, and the power supply with 3D-printed extended housing and power switch on the right. This arrangement separates the antenna cord from the AC power cord - both are connected and leading out the back - as much as possible. The AC power cord also has a ferrite serving as an RF choke on it. The power switch is on and glowing green, and the radio is also on and in scan mode.

Right three-quarter view of the same assembly, but with the microphone off the 3D-printed microphone clip, so it can be seen. Also visible in this view is the retention clip for the DC power cables at the back of the board, and the new white handle on the bamboo retention stick which helps hold the power supply extended housing to the main body of the power supply.

I made a board for the radya so I can carry it all around at the same time, more or less. ^_^

Mostly I did this last night but I had to reprint the microphone clip this morning for a better fit, and attached it before eating lunch, so... here it is! […]
