    Which MARC repeater? Several are listed on website. I'm guessing woodland park?

    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    Correct. If I understand correctly, the MARC repeaters are interconnected. Maybe I’m confusing that with Colorado Connection. It’s been six years since I turned a radio on, I’m fuzzy on the details.

    I've been watching this thread for awhile now and thinking of jumping into this radio hobby as we approach winter.
    I'm considering the Baofeng UV-82HP as I've seen it in action on quite a few you tube channels. Any feedback on this model ?
    I only need one and I'll probably set it up as a scanner until I decide if I want to proceed into the whole ham radio arena.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    On the 'tape' antennas, I suggest you get the longest one you can find and add a gooseneck. Look on Amazon for 'HYS Gooseneck' and you'll find them reasonably priced.
    Baofeng's use "SMA female" as the antenna connector.

    Sorry I missed your call. I thought I heard it, but I had two people going in my ear at the time. Try again if you like or let me know your call sign. I'll look into the antenna.

    What do you think of this one? 31" long.

    Keep in mind it's 31" with the gooseneck. I have the 31" and it's a little deaf when folded, but from a practical point of view, it's an easy fix when you're "out of comms" to just unfurl the antenna.

    So I got two Uv-82hp radios. If I just wanted to use them as walk-talkies around the hood, how would I do that? Just looking for a quick win before delving into ham radio classes.

    While not technically legal, you could use them on one of the FRS frequencies.. I say not technically legal because the baofengs are not certified for use on FRS/GMRS frequencies.

    The FRS freqs are unlicensed and used mostly for playing around, so I doubt anyone would notice. Even then, I wouldn't use it for commercial purposes, as I've seen descriptions of FCC tracking down and taking legal action against businesses using unlicensed frequencies.

    Shocked there isn’t more chatter after the Nashville bombing knocking out a lot of comms over the weekend

    Amazon may require a license to purchase Baofeng radios starting second quarter 2021.

    Unsure if this is aimed at the seller, who is NOT required to have a license to sell the radios - so that makes no sense - or the final purchaser.
