(I know… I know… I said I was going to get my HAM. I haven’t had time. My son and daughter-in-law aren’t HAM’s anyway. I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, … a terrible flood, ……locusts. It wasn’t my fault!)
Anyway, here’s what I think I know; higher ‘power’ doesn’t increase the range, but might help the signal be clearer at the same range. GMRS isn’t great with obstructions- hills, trees… But, is there a frequency/channel within GMRS that might do better in hills and trees? Or is the range to narrow too make much difference from top to bottom?
Watching the mountain men movie and their battles with the blackfeet. Imagine equipping them with ar15s loaded with 69 grain hollow points along with g17s for close quarters. A day spent familiarizing them with the weapons and they would present as 100 or more troops.
Of course, shear numbers are a big factor, but the advanced weaponry would make for some interesting outcomes.
Yeah, I know, the pain medicine I'm on is making me stupid.
For many months I haven't been able to sleep more than 2 hours at a time. Now, after some dental surgery in preparation for heart surgery, they gave me a prescription for hydrocodone/acetaminophen pills.
One of those swallowed with a shot or two of bourbon not only relieved the pain but allowed me to sleep for five hours straight. I feel great! Too bad that stuff is addictive.
I've noticed when I post with my laptop instead of my phone that he backgrounds of my post are darker. trying a different browser to see if it resolves the issue
