I recently got a radio that I have been playing around with but there isn’t much for traffic in my area and while I can receive a few repeaters I can not transmit to them so I quickly got board and started looking for other things I can do with it.
Thats when I remembered some 2 way radios my brother got me a while back for hunting and such. I knew it had 3 channels but I had no idea what frequency they used or if it fell in the range of my new toy. Not knowing much about the 2 ways I did find a FCC ID on the back of each hand held.
After doing a quick search on the FCC ID I was delighted to see the 2 way radios operated in my toys range 🙂 So I punched the frequency in my ham radio as fast as I could, turned on the 2 way and started transmitting on my ham. I was over joyed to here my sexy voice loud and clear on the 2 way 😀
Now this is nothing new. Its not even hacking, but it sure feels like it. It was fun going from not knowing anything about it to making it work. So that was my first little adventure with radio, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Nice! I haven’t used these radios much tho! I’m thinking you were tired when you posted this because of the several bad typos. You should correct ’em
mah, me sleepy
I recently had to learn/teach myself how to program Motorola trunking radios because of my job… fascinating! I was so excited that I bought some off an internet auction site and bought a rhib-less cable and use them for police scanners… I need to learn more about repeaters and using them as 2-ways… its fun to tinker and make them work!
