-
- Frank,
- The best source of info re: GMRS, by far, is: Personal Radio Steering Group
- they are at: P.O. Box 2851, Ann Arbor Mich 48106, Voice (313)-MOBILE3, and
- have a BBS at (313)-995-2100.
-
- P.R.S.G. membership is very reasoanble, and will provide you with more
- information on GMRS than you'll ever want or need. Additionally, they will
- supply
- the necessary application forms from FCC as well as information as to how to
- complete them.
-
- When I got my GMRS license, it was $35. Forms are also available
- from FCC, General Mobile Radio Service,
- PO Box 358230, Pittsburgh, PA 15251-5230
- ask for FCC FORM 574.
-
- Hope this helps.
-
- PS. Iv'e not seen a GMRS FAQ on internet.
-
- Good Luck,
-

-
- Hi Doug,
-
- I've been using the FT-890 for over a year now, and
- love it. Like yourself, I spent considerable time investigating
- the price/benefit of the competitors. I purchased my rig
- primarily for use while camping. I've used it very sucessfully
- with just a long wire up in the trees. The optional antenna
- tuner is well worth the investment. CW performance is superb,
- and I've work plenty of DX on SSB. The FT-890 is now my
- promary rig.
-
- The optional CW and SSB filters make a small improvment,
- but frankly I think a good DSP Digital audio filter would be
- a much better investment.
-
- On the down side, I've been less than thrilled with RTTY
- performance, owing probably to the already narrow passband of the
- SSB filter. There is no provision for a RTTY passband IF filter
- as found on many other transceivers, and while Yaesu describes
- RTTY/PACKET operation in their FT-890 manual, I'ld be a lot happier
- to have an IF filter better taylored to the wider shift/bandwidth
- of these modes.
-
- helpful.
-
- 73s, Thom/N2CBV
