I want to thank all of you for your answers, suggestions, and thoughts on how to proceed. I apologize for using the incorrect forum for this question and request that nobody else reply to this thread.

I would also like to state how impressed I am with this community! There were several different point of views presented and no flames at me or any at any of those of differing opinions. I wish the IT community were more like all of you. I can’t imagine a newbie question like this getting asked in the wrong forum yielding only helpful replies without someone calling the OP an id10t, moron or worse.

Again, thank you all very much & please let this thread close as Dan has requested. Horses everywhere will breathe a sigh of relief ;-}

Sincerely,

Dave

The forums at the link below is devoted to discussion of FRS / GMRS. I'm sure this would be an appropriate question there and you'll likely hear a few examples of how it is being done :

Hi all,

This topic has been hashed to death here and elsewhere. Since it's *massively* offtopic for CHIRP's global audience, I ask that we please stop this thread here. Every time we get on an off-topic thread like this I get a few complaints and a bunch of unsubscribes from the list.

I like beating dead horses as much as the next guy, but can we take that to an appropriate list?

Thanks :)
