Re: To newly registered users: Welcome! Please read...

I would like to request that I be moved into the Registered Users group. I haven't been able to post much but I have absorbed plenty of useful information here and I'd like to get to the point that I can give some back!

Re: P200 Charger Missing Contact

That sounds about right. This one has two LEDs, but it could be a similar setup. Oh well, it seems to be charging fine.

Re: P200 Charger Missing Contact

Both chargers are identical and have two lights, a red light to indicate that the battery is charging and a green light to indicate that the battery is charged. One charger has four contacts and works perfectly. The charger on question has three contacts and a hole where the other should be.

P200 Charger Missing Contact

I recently purchased a pair of UHF P200's on eBay and I noticed that one of the chargers would never show that the battery was charged. The red "charging" light stays on, but it never shows "charged". When I took a closer look, I realized that one of the metal contacts (farthest ...

Re: Personal Radios at Work

UPDATE 2: Our "new" company-issued Kenwood showed up in one of the booths today. It's in pretty decent shape, but missing the volume knob. Works great and it's loud as hell in those small booths. My direct superior (assistant supervisor) was pretty excited. He said he agreed that it would ...

Re: Personal Radios at Work

UPDATE: I spoke with my dept. head today. She had initially been planning to have us start calling "600 Base", the dept.'s base station, on the phone and having the secretary put out a call to the supervisors on the radio. I explained that I thought a radio would be more convenient for all...

Re: Personal Radios at Work

Make no mistake, I have no intention of just waltzing in with a radio set for the company system and using it without permission. That would likely get me fired. Work isn't the only reason I wanted a UHF portable. As soon as the FCC figures out what they're doing about the licensing fee, I intend to...

Re: Personal Radios at Work

Thanks for the replies! Jim- I will be sure to bring that up when I speak to the dept. head. They would have to provide a radio and train another person to use it eventually, because I do not work every single day. As far as them providing a radio, I seriously doubt that the dept. has the money righ...

Personal Radios at Work

I have already tried posting a similar topic in the Tavern over at Radio Reference, but I thought I'd get the opinions of those who browse Batboard exclusively. I work in a relatively remote area of a theme park with a large radio infrastructure (8 repeated channels, 1 simplex) and a mix of Motorola...

Re: Narrowbanding and GMRS

I've looked into this quite a bit, and as far as I can tell it doesn't. That said, I read somewhere (not necessarily a reliable source) that using wideband radios to talk to the bubble packs will not work because the bubble packs are narrowband. Again, I don't know that it's very reliable, just some...
