I was cleaning out my closet the other day and came across these uniden 14 mile 2way radios. I was gonna throw them out because i have a new set, but i thought i would check and see if their were any cool ways i can alter them to have some fun....if u know what i mean?

FRS sucks. its a bunch of whiney kids and a buch of mexicans telling you that theyre gonna kick your ass.

My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself....so my best bet is to burn them...My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.

-
Yea replace the crystal with a 6.5536 and have fin with drive throughs
Your lucky you have those I cant find any ill proballoy find the holy grail before I get a hold on one of these.
-
Are u sure this can be done to a two way radio aswell as a Frequency scanner??
-
Yes, provided you've correctly installed the crystal.

If you want a cheap frequency agile 400MHz-500MHz range tranceiver, check out one of those Chinese HT manufacturers like Jingtong, Kensung, Kington, KYD, Linton, Quansheng, Quanzhou, Weierwei, Wouxun, etc. for about $50 including shipping and transmit 10x the legal limit is on those FRS radios.

10dB is 10dB. People go all nuts about slapping on a kW amp to their HF rig and that gets you an extra...10 dB! Even 100 watts is only a 13dB improvement over 5 watts. It's all relative. 5 watts is enough to cause a ruckus in most drive through systems unless the guy is standing underneath the repeater and knows to hold down the headset button upon interference.

what about gmrs? anything interesting with that?

Not really. Most areas tend to have some GMRS repeaters. It's kind of like ham, except you buy a licence instead of earning one by passing tests of radio/electronics knowledge and you're limited to those few channels. Repeater owners there can be quite territorial. You're supposed to obtain permission from the owner before using it and many would refuse to all except their special clique. You'd hear them talk about radio crap, like they do on ham repeaters but since the licence is good for the whole household, before cell phones were commonplace you'd here a guy's wife yelling at him over the radio to pick up milk from the store or whatever. You could piss off repeater owners by using their repeater without permission, transmitting without a callsign, tieing it up with useless stuff. These days since GMRS use is down so much (thank cell phones, FRS radios, etc) they'd probably just thank you for testing out their repeater system for them since no one's used it in so long. Also, GMRS operators seem to be very pissed that FRS manufacturers have commonly added GMRS channels to their radios only tacking in an application for a GMRS licence and few words about the licence requirement in the manual. Of course, no one reads the manual and promptly tosses it into the garbage can and people just think WOW I have a radio that works on 22 channels instead of 14 and uses the GMRS channels just like the FRS channels but without a licence. The GMRS folk call these people the "bubble pack pirates" and some of them spend a lot of time and effort trying (in vain) to track down 8 year old neighbourhood kids operating without a licence when they paid money ($80/5 years) to be able to talk on those channels. If you have one of these types of people in your area, they could be fun to provoke.

here in reno theres a ham who owns a GRMS repeater. I messed with it for some time before he took it down. It was never used anyway, but it was funny because he would jump over to 70cm and complain to fellow hams..
