Leave a comment

One of the first things I like to is uninstall programs that I do not need. There are a ton of candidates but McAfee LiveSafe is one of the first that I uninstall.

Model GXT1000//1030/1050 Series No Transmit WI [SOLVED]

2 comments

If you have a Midland GXT 1000/1030/1050 two way radio and one of the radios is not transmitting, check that WI (Whisper Mode) is not ON.

What is even more fun is that Google’s Gcam works on the PureView!
