So I resisted trying any of this
Im old man, Old school...
one day someone convinced me to try it
I ordered a Yeyhoo FT70dr on sale and a bunch of accessories of course

so I got it all going, watched 47,000 youtube videos
I have tried somethings
whats this wiresx stuff anyway?
They said i could go to other rooms and talk to people all over
but
In order to do this I have to change the local repeater to anther "room"
This makes some hamms unhappy yes i changed it back after i was done
they say I need a hotspot or something so

Tried out the Nagoya NA-771G on my GMRS handheld. It’s a lot longer than the stock antenna, but it actually works. Definitely getting out farther and people say I sound clearer.

It’s supposed to be tuned for GMRS and from what I can tell, it is. SWR looks good.

Only thing—it’s kind of long for carrying around, but for general use it’s solid.

Anyone else using this one?
