content: perfect. My Radio is on the way from China.The question who nobody could answer me is how to get the GPS Information from other Radio out of mine Radio?I will buy 5 Radios and use it on Rental Cars when we travel abroad. A friend of mine is a Radio Amateur and he got an Hytera Radio for his Car who have an Port for that.

content: Hmm I am not sure it can be transmitted from one radio to another. My MD-390 doesn´t have a GPS module actually. As far as I know the messages are collected by the repeater infrastructure.Speaking of what, are you licensed? These radios can't be used without a license, either an amateur or a commercial one. The right choice for your application would be PMR radios.

In the ham world,GPS information is being collected through the repeater infrastructure.QuoteYou can cause harmful interference by operating without an authorization. And I'm not sure how effective law enforcement is in Austria in this area, but you can get in legal trouble. And messing in the amateur spectrum can attract even more trouble, as hams themselves might help hunt you down.I would really recommend getting PMR or CB equipment. It's cheaper and simpler to operate.

content: QuoteThe most repeater are not connected to anything so how the Repeater could do anything?QuoteNobody use Digital. And a 12,5khz Bandwith is defined so no problem with that.QuoteHams? Lol the are mostly 80 Years old Guys who talk about there Diseases over Amateur Radio.QuoteI use PMR. CB Sucks. There is a huge noise from the sshhttt Powerline Plugs. I hear only brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr....So when the most people use Baofeng on Analog so what should I do? You cant use the normal Radios. To much interference from cheap Child Radios and Baofengs. So Digital it the only solution.

content: Quote from: Lord of nothing on February 07, 2017, 04:17:46 pmI laughed, even though you sound like a jerk. There is truth to the notion that the ham bands are full of old dudes talking about ailments, that by no means defines ham radio, and there are folks that can and will track you down.In any case, those geriatrics talking about their diseases are law-abiding citizens who took the time to get licensed and learn about their hobby. They are maybe entitled to use the spectrum without a bunch of QRM from an idiot who can't be bothered to learn enough not to be a nuisance to others.

content: Quote from: Lord of nothing on February 07, 2017, 01:59:44 pmNot sure what it's like in your country, but here in the USA, unlicensed operation on the Ham bands, if caught and the FCC takes action, can result in equipment confiscation and a fine of many thousands of dollars. I agree with djacabow, you are coming across like a bit of a jerk. Hopefully, no one else in this forum will help you find new and better ways to break the law, if you really are unlicensed. You want to learn about hand mics? Practice your Google Fu, grasshopper.

content: Seems like the network choice is decided for you by whoever wins the local repeaters. They choose what network the repeater talks to, right?That is, unless you're running a hot spot, in which case I guess you do get to choose.Here in northern California, Brandmeister seems to be far in the lead among repeaters.
