Every GMRS Radio Setting Explained & How it Works

[@carnellbutler6678]

This was for me!!! The radio dummy. Thanks, I feel like a pro now

[@OneFearOffroad]

Appreciate the explanations. Very helpful video.

[@brucethomas6296]

Dude great video I will be watching this multiple times, great learning opportunity !

[@citizensurvivalplan]

Thanks alot friend I am glad you enjoy this content!

[@kwelliottsr]

Very good explanation of the menu. Thanks for all of the hard work you put into this product.

[@DaddyyCrab]

Thanks for the education and keeping it simple! 😎

[@citizensurvivalplan]

Thanks alot!

[@CrenshawDawg04]

Just got my radios in and needed help. Thanks for sharing!

[@stone4bread]

Very good presentation! Well done.

[@brucethomas6296]

I really appreciate your platform. I hope it grows big, you give great honest insights !

[@meganpingatore431]

Really helpful - thank you 🙏

[@sixshooter4570]

Great video explaining all of the settings. I have a Wouxun KG-UV9GX and it didn't have a proper manual although I do have a spreadsheet explaining the various settings. I'll now fire up Chirp, I also have the extra CD and plug that I purchased for programming this radio. Thanks for your time and effort. I'm also thinking about purchasing a set of the Wouxun KG-935G Plus radios.

[@stevedickerson5447]

Great video. Very informative. I am just starting out trying to learn about GMRS. Thanks!

[@Citizenundercovernews]

Great channel and excellent content

[@Melody666Nikki]

thank you. great video.

[@joeymertle9809]

Great video. Just what I needed.

[@eduardoguizarmx]

Excellent explanation, thank you very much.

[@NickBEADG]

Wide gives you better range, but penetrates obstacles less. Narrow band is shorter range but penetrates better. So if you are in a crowded place, but close, use narrow.

[@citizensurvivalplan]

Through extensive real world tests I have not found that be be true only in theory. Is there a very specific setup that would produce this result.... probably. For general use wide band is best.

[@EJB24103]

Great Video and tutorial, thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@jim3922]

thanks for going through these setting. it’s helping a little. I bought a pair of TidHD radios because… youtube people were really excited about them. I just wanted something I could talk from home to work with the wife, a few miles. but that thing is way too complicated. i’m not even sure how to get started. I haven’t even showed my wife because she’s just going to shutdown when she sees it. My area’s radio club doesn’t have a GRMS repeater listed on their website. So I feel like half the functionality of these fancy GRMS radios isn’t going to be used by me. maybe I should have bought a higher quality set of FRS radios instead…

[@citizensurvivalplan]

GMRS radios really are not any more complicated to use simplex (radio to radio) then frs. If you are going a few miles you will not reach with FRS. remember you can set up your own repeater its really easy and also you can use a 20 watt base station radio in your car from the outlet this will give you alot more range then a handheld.

[@jim3922]

@@citizensurvivalplan interesting. maybe i should look into my own repeater. i have a two story house and could possibly put an antenna in the attic. I don’t want to be climbing my roof, so while the chimney would probably be a great place to mount something, I’m not interested in the climb.

[@sloppysquab]

great video, ill watch this a few times to process it all lol

[@EvergreenOG]

Great video. Great work

Thank you ..

You got my Sub Thanks for the helpful content!

[@NickBEADG]

Awesome video, very informative!

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

The only handheld duel band radio I trust for Survival use is the Yaesu FT-60R radio. ✅ This radio uses a rechargeable battery pack and an optional AA alkaline battery tray.

[@chrissewell1608]

Good job explaing all the ANI code stuff. I just wonder if there is some computer program out there that actually recieves and decodes all the DTMF tones? Because its pretty useless for a group of folks to use the features if they can't tell who is talking or in trouble!

[@citizensurvivalplan]

The kg 935g can decode them and the btech phone app can. I am sure that a computer program can too you will just have to find one.

[@Chirnak-J]

Great video. But now what I need is WHY you would use some of those settings - the ones that matter for transmission and reception, particularly the tones. I understand those that are needed to trigger a repeater, but what about all the others you can set at BOT, EOT or both. Why would you use them? What's the pros and cons of using these you described?

[@blcdad]

There is a lot of great information in this, but a couple of things aren't clear: 1. What is CHIRPS? 2. What kind of things is DTMF generally used for? I can't think of many applications for it.

[@citizensurvivalplan]

1.Chirp is a free computer program you can download to program your radios from the computer here is a link.chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home 2. DTMF is prob something you will not use I really don't to be honest but like I showed in the video it can be assigned to a radio to identify the person/radio in distress if turned on for the alarm mode. This is was really included so I could cover every setting as most people working with GMRS really don't want to try and explain it. Thanks for this comment I hope this helps!

[@darkexitus8579]

Had to Sub. Awesome video

[@citizensurvivalplan]

Awesome thank you!

[@travismuse7430]

TDR-AB has to do with transmission channel when in dual mode

[@omywonkenobi]

@citizensurvivalplan, You have explained the different menu items on this particular radio very well and easy to understand language. I see how the explanation is very similar to the menu items on a TidRadio TD=H3 which a lot of people are talking about in the forums. Thank you very much. Question: Do you have access to a TidRadio TD-H3 and can you make the procedure on how DTMF codes are programmed and used on the TD-H3?

[@citizensurvivalplan]

You need to do DTMF in chirp like I did in the video. Pretty much all the menu items I cover in the video on the btech/ baofeng radio are in the TidRadio TD-H3.

[@JackSparrow-sq1nn]

Like this comment to remind me to watch the video again

[@didotb01]

4:42 it's actually the opposite, the narrow band would "reach further" but practically doesn't do much in your everyday transmission in vhf/uhf bands. What this does best however is save space, so an entire wide fm band can now be used by 2 different groups of people; and, what I actually believe the most important, is it saves you battery power in exchange for audibility. If you average the total power transmitted over WFM and NFM, NFM would be much more efficient albeit harder to understand the transmitting side. Imagine a 5w transmitter on 1st floor and a receiver on the 3rd floor, and getting a 59 signal report on WFM vs a 49 on NFM Did the narrow vs wide started with the AM vs SSB? Only on those modulations do I actually think it'd matter a lot.

[@attribute-4677]

In a SHTF situation, talking on the radio to strangers will be the last thing on your mind

[@PinkFluffies]

How do you listen to others?

[@dennisbishop1818]

How do you get one of those small repeater.

[@citizensurvivalplan]

I made it video here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH2wko14hJZrl5Y

[@chrissewell1608]

The phrase "Privacy Tones" is misleading. There is no privacy or secure frequency in radio!

[@citizensurvivalplan]

Yes this is why I explained just that in the video.

[@nunosapunso6239]

What about Rx Hop(frequency hopping)?

[@citizensurvivalplan]

what about it?

[@TheRealRenn]

Video intro image is a lol....fantasy where one dies in 2-seconds with zero re-spawn option. It's what we have become in our minds it appears.

[@citizensurvivalplan]

But did you learn how to use your radio?

[@citizensurvivalplan]

LMOA! please look at your own profile picture!!!! also a nameless faceless profile.

[@TheRealRenn]

@@citizensurvivalplan got anything else, Karen? And yeah, I know how to use my GMRS radios and repeater. Thanks for asking.

[@citizensurvivalplan]

@@TheRealRenn If you knew how to use your radio why were you watching this video?

[@TheRealRenn]

@@citizensurvivalplan because you came up in my feed....it's the YT Algorithm. You seem triggered because you are not getting what you want here. Keep posting...I find it amusing. Or just click that ghost button option. Mkay?

[@danonroof]

I know it's easier said than done but please for the love of God touch some grass

[@jargero8203]

Why narrow your ability to gmrs. JUST GO HAM EVERYONE! GmRS is ONLY UHF... Toddler radio

[@jondough4116]

To many sadd hams out on the airwaves harassing people for their call sign even before you speak to them..like a cop asking for ID as soon as you speak to these road pirates...

[@dowjones9827]

Such a good explenation! Thanx man!
