RM>Hi Daryl!

Hi, Richard...

RM> DS>   OK, I'll have to get a repeater database listing, and program it
RM> DS> with that. The thing is, the UV-5R doesn't put out much power (it
RM> DS> wasn't designed to)

RM>It should give you 4W.

  Unfortunately, being in antenna prohibited housing, and with a lot of trees
around outside, it's almost impossible to hit a nearby repeater...even though
it's "wide area coverage".

RM> DS> Besides, what did I expect for under $50??...

RM>They were down to 22 USD on amazon.
RM>Now they cost slightly under 30 USD.

  I'm reminded of the phrase "you get what you pay for". I've heard that with
several of these models, if you drop it, you might as well get a new one, and
throw the damaged one in the trash.

Daryl, WX1DER
