Well, when folks are close enough together to achieve what's called "full quieting" in each others' receivers, you're right: there's no static....
Long enough to reach from your radio's coax connector, plus a foot of spare for the inevitable connector replacement, to your antenna's connector,...
There's another GMRS net, in some ways better than qrz.com (a site for hams) which is mygmrs.com There will be a couple of hoops to jump...

My feeling is that what the DMM is showing is that the battery polarity diode is not (yet) blown into a short. The Vcc (or A+, if you wish) is fed...
No, not really. 7/8-wave at 27 MHz would be roughly 7 x 53 inches inches long, or 30.9 feet. And, since it wouldn't have a feed point impedance...
Had to edit, couldn't find edit button at first.
Substitute a known good dummy load for the antenna long enough to test the SWR. If you get anything other than a 1.0:1, there's a fault in the...
The scope is to enable quick checks on components like the ubiquitous 10.240 MHz rock (if that's used in this chassis), see if there's audio on...
If you feel comfortable llooking under the hood on the radio, you can pretty easily diagnoose a bad power/volume switch. First, replace the...
