MURS is Part 95 not Part 90 and was not affected by the narrowbanding rule making, however 4 of the MURS channels are narrowbanded, while 2 that came from Part 90 are not.  

 

 

Yessir, so guess which channels I'm using for DMR.

That would depend on what modulation the radio is capable of.

If any of you guys are interested, @ Trickshot has been organizing a way for militia groups nationally to communicate with each other and share information. He is in need of HAM operators, so if you are interested, please let him know.

Great useful info!

[ComKat-LH 24]

It's 7K60FXD and 7K69FXE. If you check those modulation types, they fit the F2D designation.

Yeah, it would have been a good thing, but the guy wasn't legit.

Was this guy on here a while back and was setting something up and then got banned or something?

 

Something about being in England or somesuch.

It is frustrating to have non legit people give bogus info. Just like it is frustrating to get recruiting with people who talk a big game but don't want to act. That's okay. This country needs saving and I will do everything humanly possible to stop evil.

I'm not sure if what he was doing was RF related or trying to setup another website like this one, why I'm not too sure.

Folks anyone have any thoughts about trying to setup a few VHF or UHF channels for the equivalent of inter-agency comms?

[Recon Prepper 39]

there is a good nationwide group of hams that are patriots. Alot of them are ex military but its not required. AmRRON The American Radio Relay Operators Network. They have the free version and a 40 dollar a year version. The 40 dollar a year version gives you more info and is for the more active hams who are willing to transmit info and pass traffic. Its a really good group of patriots. Im sure some are probably in militias like myself.

Ive got a document together to propose.  Finishing it up

That is correct, the reason I call it a split is the FCC narrowbanding rules have split the old standard 25 into 12.5 and soon it will be 6.25, allowing for more channels per band.

 

Hams are not yet effected by that ruling, but would be wise to keep up with it though I doubt they will, when it comes to communications they are a strange group of people.  

Depending how you program you code plug determines which half you transmit on. I have made the mistake for being on the wrong side.

Trickshot was ban hammered for being abuse towards members both on the site and via email. An no, he was nowhere near legit.

What I am thinking of would be commercial not Ham radio.

I think the guy was emailing me, not in a nasty way, but asking questions without really getting to the point of what he really wanted to do. I'll answer a direct question, but I'm not getting involved in something shady.

I have an anytone 878. Unfortunately I have to build a hotspot for it because there are no DMR repeaters around here yet.

Same radio I just got, different brand.

Or consider this, longer range using low band around 33 MHz to 43 MHz. 

 

Low band is pretty much abandoned nowadays but when I had a system on 35.1400 MHz I could literally cover 3 counties mobile to mobile, handhelds are out there but not too practical for LB due to antenna size restrictions. .

MBR what frequencies would we use? Would someone need a commercial license to use them?

Low band is pretty much abandoned now a days and when I had a system on 35.1400 MHz I could literally cover 3 counties mobile to mobile, handhelds are out there but not too practical for LB due to antenna size restrictions. .

So you are just talking about using hf?

[ComKat-LH 24]

What I'm thinking is a good old-fashioned human relay system. We got guys that can run HF, and we've got people that need to run VHF or UHF.

 

We should come up with a system, ARRL style, that allows for message relay. Perhaps even using one time pads and the like.

well not hf its actually LF or Low band

Frequency would depend on the band chosen, a commercial license would be required, but a single station license could cover all users in a state or more.
