[QUOTE="R. Johnson, post: 2852805, member: 10606"] Something kind of weird, don't know if anyone will really be interested. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to mess around with amateur radio a little so I've been studying for the technician exam (I'll be taking it next week). In the mean time I got a cheap little Baofeng hand held radio to play with and listen to repeaters until I get my license. A neat little radio, it can tune a lot of frequencies outside of what is legal for a ham to use. It can even tune the FRS frequencies, even though you can't legally use this radio to transmit on those freqs. Anyhow, I programmed the FRS freqs into my radio just because I can monitor them if nothing else. What's weird is that someone is constantly breaking squelch on what would be FRS channel 5. Squelch breaks about once a second and has been for days. I live down here on the south end of Norman near the 77/ 9 interchange. Has anyone else noticed it? Are the black helicopters coming for us all??? Perhaps the low men in yellow coats? All kidding aside, I'm kind of curious why it is... [/QUOTE]
