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...

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?

yes, I know.

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.)

Also, here below is a bigger picture. I will have to check to see if point X is in cropfields where I cannot walk....

What cable would you use to connect the two baofengs. I ordered the below ebay cable a few days ago, but hasn't arrived yet. The below amazon cable did not work -- it made the TX-radio of the pair transmit constantly (although it seemed to work fine for connecting the Dakota radio to the...

test, timing, this post is 12:24am, CST, 9/28/22.

The reason for the A->B->C->D->E->F->G path, was to show an idea of using a bunch of repeaters placed at those locations, with LOS between each pair of repeaters, to BYPASS, or go-around all the darn mounds.

I am at G 99% of the time, next to my vehicle. I am always within 20ft of my vehicle. Sometimes I will be mobile moving from G to E to Q and then back to G via the path Q->E->G. But, for the sake of simplicity, let's say I am always at G. Technically speaking, I am not allowed to climb...

For that: do the obstructions cover several 30ft-high/30ft-deep dirt mounds ? Again, the sensor/alert/detector is at A. I am at G. The blue-lines are 30ft mounds of dirt. |AG| is 325yards. (wasn't exactly sure what you meant by "house".)
