We had a /\/\ sales dude come by yesterday. He looked at my Saber II on my desk and said something about not supporting them anymore.

Being that your radio has both trunking and FPP, you'll probably not want to touch it with anything newer than Astro25 CPS R09.xx or you run the risk of losing FPP capability. Now, in the past this was applicable to radios with trunking and only Q52. Honestly, yours is the first I've seen to have ...

This may be moot anyway - it's a very recently implemented system, they might be using ASKs, in which case we're boned - I'll just help them program their personal radio for the hammy sh*t.
Is this by chance the system in question? Given that it's a full-on Astro25 9600 system and very, very new ...

Trunked talkgroup names can be edited. Conventional personalities can be added, deleted, and manipulated every way imaginable. What not ...

I guess I need to add more antennas to the truck as I haven't made made the hit list yet.

Picked up a bank charger for the Genesis series and a 900 ham converted Spectra. 1.2 gig in next. If only the 1.2 gig Spectras really did exist.
Hey, were you toting a 5K set to 146.495? I saw a guy carrying ...

I grabbed a few pics.. there was actually quite a bit of hamsexuality to behold but I was just too tired to care.

I'm leaving out this evening after work and staying in Austin tonight, and will be there bright 'n' early in the morning.

Are you riding solo, Jon, or is Larry tagging along too?

Also, the Houston GMRS crew are bringing their portable 70cm repeater. 441.525/no tone.

motorola_otaku

I'd like to go since I haven't been since March '07 and the guys who camp out under the water tower at Plano are RVing up. Anyone from D/FW thinking about venturing south?

motorola_otaku

All cool, but I'm still waiting on an economical P25 repeater controller. Raytheon has one, but it's priced comparable to what used Quantars go for.

Damn.. Another year that I missed the gather.. Did anybody witness the Lucas Fire Chief taking the shirt away from the storm whacker Timmy?

Ooh, spiff, I didn't have some of those repeaters.

The on-site temp repeater will be on either 442.65 (123.0) or 441.525 (100.0). I'll be hanging out on Batlabs Green in the clear and on BW1.

Nothing's been affected by the weather? I hear tell you guys got hit pretty hard the last couple of nights.

motorola_otaku

For clarification -- my club's repeater is 443.325 110.9 PL

I think Scott listed the wrong PL and Brent listed the wrong freq.
No more spooty coax connector problems, I hope? Also, extra emphasis added.

The Houston GMRS guys that always camp out under the water tower are bringing a 70 cm. on ...

motorola_otaku

One week away! Will I be calling to make dinner arrangements again?

Oh, also, I might only be there for the first half of the day and with a couple of local goons in tow, but I will definitely be around for dinner. 19:30 Saturday sound good?

I thought TRBO was in some sort of ETSI standard?
"Based on some sort of ETSI standard" would be more appropriate. The TRBO implementation in current production is proprietary enough that anyone else wanting to make a radio for it would need to license it from Big M.

In any event, DVSI gets their ...

motorola_otaku

fake edit: Also, the OP is a year and a day old.

motorola_otaku

To be fair, TRBO is also a 100% proprietary mode.

TETRA would be fun to play with, but from what I understand it's very infrastructure-intensive and doesn't have a non-trunked repeater mode.. you get Network and DMO (direct) and that's it. P25 and D-Suck can at least be repeated with a couple of ...

For dinner - Bone Daddy's was good to us last time - shall we plan on a repeat appearance or try something different?
I'm all for giving repeat business to establishments that tolerate.. er, take care of us. :baby:

motorola_otaku

I'll be there. Who knows, I might even get some of the Hamsexy business cards printed up that we discussed last year. :baby:

If any of my friends come, we'll be on 462.575, 69.3 PL, NAC 293, with an as-yet undetermined DES-XL key. Or if we have enough P25-capable VHF radios to go around by then ...

Not to be too much of a gloating prick, but my /\/\ Astro Spectras hear nary a peep of intermod in downtown Houston, even on no-tone frequencies. :baby:

Never heard of it before. Is it a first-timer? 8 AM seems kinda late in the morning to open the doors to a hamfest.

I'm bored enough to make an appearance if I can arrange a crash place.

No love yet on that Quantar acquisition your were considering a while ago?
If that was directed at me, I was not aware that anyone had any Quantars available. The last time I tried to pick one up, I held off because if was a low-split UHF unit and the consensus was that the firmware probably didn ...

We already have an Icom FR6000 set up for analog-only on GMRS, and we're itching to get digital rolling. If digital were allowed on GMRS, that'd be just fine as well.
When and if digital voice is ever made legal for GMRS, my stuff is going CVSD/Securenet first, then P25. Already got the hardware ...

P25 might be fine when the feds are footing most of the costs but businesses don't need that shit.
I see that argument made in a lot of places, but people seem to forget that P25 is scalable. A single-channel P25 conventional repeater system with low-tier subscriber units is no more "grandiose ...
