Google earth has opened my eyes to a lot of distances. It's funny how we thought the distances were nearly twice what they really were. Here's a spreadsheet a I did a while back showing just how many people were within a mile of me and those who were further out. It's no wonder there was so much bleedover back then. And those were only the people I knew..... View AttachmentSeriously, did you keep a log book with all of this data so that decades into the future when Google Earth and spreadsheets existed you would be able to map it all? Freaky, but amazing! 👀😀 Ready for freaky take 2? Yea I did the same thing for the modern crew. Interesting how the distances have increased considerably, as has the HASL and, of course, the amount of power we run...... CB_distances_signals_2.xls (28.5 KB)

The only "mod" we did was to swap the rx/tx crystals to have our own private channel Yeah, we did that too. It was our "secret" channel. Probably everyones "secret" channel.

BTech has done a great job on this radio. After some quirks with the Chirp programming software, the radio works great. I can speak in simplex and duplex mode. It is even able to upload other frequencies besides GMRS, but it can only monitor those frequencies. Absolutely no complaints with this radio.
