As a GMRS Operator myself, a little fix from the FCC website: "In 2017, the FCC updated the GMRS by allotting additional interstitial channels in the 467 MHz band, increased the license term from 5 to 10 years, allowed transmission of limited data applications such as text messaging and GPS location information and made other updates to the GMRS rules to reflect modern application of the service." So it is 100% legal to send Text and GPS data over GMRS Frequencies. Also FRS does overlap with every GMRS simplex channel, limited only to 2watts and no data I believe, and FRS is not allowed on repeater channels. Love your videos!
@TalmidAndy10 ай бұрын
The amended Part 95 rules extend data privileges that are currently limited only to handheld GMRS devices and does not include mobile radios. In mid 2021Midland did try to get it extended to mobile radio and the FCC put it out to consultation and comment in late 2023. The vast majority of comments have not been supportive of the proposal with a trend towards restricting data usage on the band to certain modes and channels - keeping it strictly to the wording of 'position data and text messaging' therefore indicating APRS like functionality. I can understand where this position is coming from as there only a very small number of channels available and after excluding FRS and repeater channels this leaves even fewer. For the uninitiated there are 22 channels of GMRS which are shared with FRS, 8 of those are repeater channels (these can also operate as a simplex channels but the parliferation of backyard repeaters has taken over the majority. With the number of repeaters that are internet linked data on these channels would cause interference not just locally but potentially across the entire country) and 7 are restricted to narrow FM at 500mW. This leaves just 7 channels, restricted to 5 watts on GMRS, for a general simplex communication including these data operations. I am not opposed to the idea as long as it comes with some form regulation on which channel it can be used or even the allocation of a new channel specifically for data.

@TalmidAndy10 ай бұрын
@@RT-qd8yl unfortunately SHTF and many of the other unrealistic and delusional scenarios put forward to sell radios have no basis in reality. Real geologic and weather events over the past few decades have shown us that the world is not going to be plunged into a dystopian post-apocalyptic society with a complete shutdown of power and communications as a result of an earthquake, a storm, a tornado, or anything else - and the Red Army is not going to parachute into Middle America early in the morning while the kids are sitting in school. Each event teaches the businesses and agencies involved in response, recovery, and rebuilding how and where parts of the system fail, how to make them more robust, and how much redundancy is required keep them functioning. This combined with both common sense and science-based analysis of potential future events has led to communication systems that are able to withstand hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires, and more. Additionally, what constitutes an emergency under the regulations has been clearly defined and it does not include the majority of scenarios put forward by itself appointed experts. 'Protection of life and limb' is as close as you are going to get to a concise list of what is constituted to be an emergency. There always have been people who will do whatever they want no matter the situation or the consequences so, yes, you are going to hear inappropriate traffic on all kinds of bands - I have had it coming through the radio in my ambulance and on military frequencies- but It does not mean that it is an example of what you should do.

Keep in mind this is advice coming from a guy that only learned coding 3 years ago, but a possible solution to the finicky nature of the radio waves could be to code the radios to only be able to send a few characters, but each of those characters having a larger amount of corresponding frequencies. Instead of a certain frequency being taken up by like ß or į, you just limit it to the lowercase english alphabet plus a few punctuation and space characters. Then with only around 30 possible characters being transmitted, you could give each character a wide range of adjacent frequencies, allowing for a greater margin of error by the radios when they transmit a packet of data. I have no idea how you would program that, but from my (admittedly limited) understanding of computers I think it'd work

When you were saying the radio's output looked dirty with lots of harmonics, it was most likely caused directly in your RF analyser reciver. You're keying up a radio thats probably 1-4W's of power less than a meter away with no padding on the RX side at all. Backing away a good 20 meters and trying again you'll probably find its a bit more clean. I'm not sure about the business band in the US, but I think its similar to the UK? You can, just use a retuned baofeng in the business band frequencies, as long as they still below the max bandwidth (which i believe is 12.5KHz?). Then you could at least have some better squelch or use a tone/code plug to do some better squelch control.
