    Baofeng UV-5R: what method do you use to keep the volume knob on max while wearing it on a belt ?

    I was just able to see how to do it with a small hose clamp. So, I guess that is one solution.

    Baofeng UV-5R: what method do you use to keep the volume knob on max while wearing it on a belt ? I have been noticing that the volume knob wants to continuously creep down lower and lower and I have to keep checking it and turning the volume back up.

    GREAT NEWS: Amplifying the MURS MAP's radio output with the amp and the yagi is giving me alerts on all needed locations. I did not do any repeating. I just used a single 2meter frequency and a simple "rubber duck" on the receiving end. It was all about the POWER. The MURS MAP was just...

    Non-typical repeater application.

    Great thanks. Gonna give that a try. What I have been doing is to use a voice-recorder on my smartphone so that I can "be at two places at the same time". (I sync the app's timer up with my stop watch so that I know what I should hear when, when I play it back.)

    Is there a power-meter I could use to check it. What meter do you recommend?

    What do you recommend for an audio cable going from uv-5R to an audio 1/4" TRS amplifier/speaker jack?

    Ah so. So, I need to find which of the three internal-wires is TX-Data (middle pole) and cut that wire? https://survivalcomms.wordpress.com/2016/05/22/setting-up-2-radios-as-a-repeater/

    What do you recommend for an audio cable going from uv-5R to an audio 1/4" TRS amplifier/speaker jack? (I have an adapter to get from 1/4 TRS to 1/4 TS). I already tried running a standard 2.5mm TRS from the uv-5R to the audio-amplifier. I also already tried running a standard 3.5mm TRS from...

    Do I need a "duplexer" for this to work well ?

    The ebay cable just arrived. I am having some success with it for connecting two baofeng uv5R's together. I am not presently programming any offsets. I have four radios, two set at 146mhz (radios 1 and 2) and two set at 445mhz (radios 3 and 4). Two of the four radios (call them 2 and 3) are...

    @brandon7861 just ordered two more yagi's and another btech amp. Hopefully that will help get me from A to X to G. (Two of the yagi's are vhf; one is uhf. The 2nd btech amp is uhf.)
