rugged radio frequency mode

You can do some research online for additional details, but these two links may be a great place to start your process…I want to know do you have to have a licence for VHF and UHFThe short story is yes, you do.

I’m about to hit some trails in Utah and were hoping just to have this as a precaution in case we have a problem.I’m going to copy/paste a reply I sent to someone else recently. 0000050450 00000 n Typically VHF is the preferred band to use by off-roaders based on its longer signal range.As you can see, both bandwidths have distinct advantages and disadvantages depending on the application. When complete, they are assigned a specific “call sign” such as (random example: KNUC12) that they use to identify themselves during transmission. Now when you’re among large boulders, like during off-road recreation or racing, you’re going to need a larger wave to work its way around the rocks. 0000031374 00000 n

If it is, no you don’t need a license for CB radios.I have a cb right now in my semi truck and a few buddies of mine want to talk over long distances. Our handheld radio may look similar to a Baofeng, but it is not made by them or utilizing similar manufacturing details. I don’t have an answer for the Chirp software as trying to diagnose that via a blog post can be tricky. I would suggest giving us a call and asking for our tech department with tech related issues.Without getting the password to look at the frequency lists my guess is that the twenty that are preprogrammed are GMRS/FRS frequencies.

0000055039 00000 n It’s basically a GMRS/FRS system, avoiding transmitting on the 2 meter 144-146 MHZ band and the 70cm 420-450 MHZ bands. As I understand it, it’s about $70 and you can file online. Hopefully soon to be free. Many NOAA Weather Radio receivers are also programmed for three additional frequencies; 161.650 MHz (marine VHF Ch 21B), 161.775 MHz (marine VHF Ch 83B) and 163.275 MHz. Imagine a large wave hitting a rock as opposed to a small one. So to the point, Rugged (Robert) is setting up communication packages within a specific frequency range for the offroaders to use. CB’s operate in the 27Mhz range and our UHF/VHF radios operate well outside that range. The only problem is the quality will be largely degraded due to the lack of a line of sight.

Hope this helps, the posts make it sound simple and complicating at the same time. Plus the removable antennas make them non type compliant for FRS. It really boils down to wattage (for distance), compatibility to other friends and the frequencies they use, and integration into our communication systems.Rugged Radios use frequencies that are right next to HAM frequencies in the 2m and 70cm bands. With a ham radio license you will also have the ability to use the full 50w of power in the radio. I’m finding that the Chirp software program is not working.Russell, as for your kit — we’re here when you’re ready, so let us know.

At this time I can’t afford your system for installation in my XP1000, but eventually I will. UHF waves are smaller and will simply be deflected by the boulders, therefore, VHF will be your best choice because of the wider wavelength. That is not correct. There is also a broad radio selection. For the 6-10 mile range, I would have I just recently received my FCC GROL licence and I’m still a little lost here. HAM radio operators go through a very specific study and FCC testing. }��˹�QΘ��Y;��q�3�� b/�Z�P%��}��)�8�v��< 7�ѵu�6x��~�-�l��V,�Rܾ�{��b]��l}�޾��Q�n~�^�r��'�:�j�5��{��G��'��8͘M7;<0xq��0�_e

What would be a good fit for us?12 miles on a CB is pretty impressive. It covers the frequencies their radios already cover, and it offers many more features than the ones I see advertised. So, I have a cheapee Boafeng radio now, and am searching for Rugged radio frequencies for riding with the FATCO tour group who have Rugged Radios. I can tell you we offer our frequency lists on our website under the help menu in the top right corner if that helps.So I am a beginner with vhf and have recently purchased a radio from you. Below is a link to a discussion of them complaining about their weatherman channel being hijacked. 0000077398 00000 n As my group and I get more advanced in the coming years we will be looking at pairing Rugged’s intercom system with the TYT TH-9800 radio, and ham licenses for a more complete radio communications ability. %PDF-1.5 %�� I am not licensed, will I need a license to actually operate the radio? 0000000976 00000 n 0000066468 00000 n 0000038294 00000 n These radios are over powered for FRS. 0000038042 00000 n For example, the 2 Meter band for a HAM operator 144 – 148 MHZ for transmitting. 0000044601 00000 n Rugged Radios offers radios that work in the commercial band and as a result, they do not require testing as they fall outside the range of a HAM radio.However, a licensing and filing fee should be done with the FCC for our radios. There is a required exam which will require studying. Definitely worth some research.Does the radio include procedures for getting your license? This may qualify under the heading of “more than you need to know”, but if you’re curious to understand the nuances of radio communications, you may find this helpful.When it comes to choosing the right radio, one of the most difficult decisions to make is which bandwidth to utilize.
