Rugged Radio & UTV Crazy

[CrazyCooter]

I wonder where all the feedback was regarding channels when all the crazies were sitting around the campfire asking for a channel.... Wait? Maybe some were have a few drinks! LOL!! Got to be specific or we get what they give. Please let me know exactly what to ask for and I will get it. I know that he said it would be in the range of 150-155. But if you frequency gurus can give a few options by looking at the current Rugged Radio frequency chart and let me know, I will make sure it will happen correct this time. Thanks.

The ONLY frequencies unlicensed operators are allowed to transmit on the VHF band are the five in my post above.....and only at the listed deviation and a maximum of 2 watts power. MURS #1 is Jeepspeed. I'd use one of the other four channels with tone squelch enabled to help with garbage floating around on a public freq. Pot growers use MURS radios for perimeter alarms here.......

Okay, so what you are advising is to request that one of the below following, preferably the 2-5, be programmed to utvcrazy channel. I will contact my Rep today.

Any further input needed please reply to this thread as soon as possible. Thanks, Don

We need to be using one of these with a PL tone:
1 151.820 MHz 11.25 kHz N/A
2 151.880 MHz 11.25 kHz N/A
3 151.940 MHz 11.25 kHz N/A
4 154.570 MHz 20.00 kHz Blue Dot
5 154.600 MHz 20.00 kHz Green Dot

Thank you for everything, Don!....in the end, we will probably need to have FCC issue us a license rather than RR assigning us one. I personally want to see UTV Crazy compliant for our own, or just fall back on a preprogrammed in the Rugged Radio's like everyone does and cast it off as a super learning experience.

In my opinion since we all have been using RR frequency's for years with no fines or problems as long as the the one we get from RR ISN'T one that is being used by a Police or emergency service I don"t see where we would have a problem !! I highly doubt that any of the one's we have been using was issued by the FCC !! I don't think the FCC is out looking to fine a bunch of people out on a weekend ride unless we were inter fearing with some kind of emergency service !!

I thought your recommendations were for one of the above five?? Now just one?? Well, I submitted your list of 5 it is now up to Rugged to decide. Sorry, best I can do....

Thanks for all your help Don, you can only do what you can !! Do we need to change your forum name to X34me ?

You are welcome. I am in the process of obtaining a programing cable and software to update radios in the field.

Not a bad idea for name, but since the X3 is still a "Maverick", I will keep Maverick4me!

Yes any of those 5 are fine, but #1 is already in the standard program as JeepSpeed. If you want to use something other than what other Rugged owners use, one of the other 4 channels would be best. #'s 4 and 5 will sound better due to wider deviation.
