Re: Our first walkie-talkie net
Hi Paul,
Sure, I think it's a good thing to run the Net for half an hour.? I'm also available right now if you want to do a quick radio check.? Remember that we switched to CH2 (462.587.5 MHz no PL).?? This gives everyone the full 2W of transmit power.? If you have a BF UV-5R, you should be capable of reaching the outskirts of OC using the stock antenna.? I did this test already with my son.? I use CHIRP to program my BF.? My guess is that you are missing that last ".5" in your frequency entry.? If you need help programming your BF, I can program it for you using CHIRP. As an alternate approach, do you have a UHF radio that can TRX FRS? |

Our first walkie-talkie net
Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed your weekend of fog a sun.? You should have figured out your radios by now.? If not, email me ASAP so we can get you up and running.? We will have our first radio net this Monday at 7:30PM sharp.? It will be a more structured meeting and you can expect our nets to follow the same format from here on out.? After check-ins, we can open up the net for anything you want to talk about.? I expect to be done in 15 minutes or less.? Please review the Welcome doc in Folders regarding radio etiquette.? I hope to hear from all of you then. -- Dennis Tiu KN6IPE OCEAN Administrator |

Richard Lotti
Hello Everyone,
Thank you all for all your efforts.? I know everyone is busy.? I also know that we all see the value in doing what we do: to matter and make a difference when everyone else stays silent.? It is rare that someone comes along and notices the efforts of a small but determined team.? Richard Lotti is one such person.? He knows the value of having a prepared neighborhood and he has chosen to step up and do something about it (just like us).? This year, Richard Lotti is a? candidate for Board of Directors at the OC HOA.? When it's time to vote, I hope that you remember the name Richard Lotti.? Help me spread the word.? Let your neighbors know. -- Dennis Tiu KN6IPE OCEAN Administrator |

Re: Our Next Radio Check
Hi Trish, Paul, and anyone else that did not make contact this evening,
I'm sorry I missed your call.? I will do an informal radio check again this Wednesday evening at 7PM.? Just to let you know, we had some issues hearing everyone due to the lack of transmit power.? This is why we switched to CH2.? Hopefully, we will be able to make contact on Wednesday.? Until then, enjoy the warm sunset. Dennis |

Re: Our Next Radio Check
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI got on late ¨C couldn¡¯t remember how to get to the right channel.? Got onto 9.? Called but was probably 738PM by the time I tried.?

Re: Our Next Radio Check
So, we have a partial success this week for our radio check.?
Two radio operators were able to hear me but not each other.? I have to conclude that it has something to do with the GXT1000 and similar walkies limiting transmit power to only 0.5W for CH9.? So, from now on, we will SWITCH to CH2.? CH2 is at 462.587.5MHz.? Please switch your walkies to CH2 and set the transmit power to "M" for 2W.? Remember, use CH2 from now on. If you have any questions, please present them here and I will try my best to address them.? Thank you. |

Our Next Radio Check
We will be conducting another radio check session tomorrow night, Monday, 9/7/2020, at 7:00PM on CH9.? The Calendar says 7:30PM, I know.? But, we might need a little bit of time to make sure everyone is up and running.? If we have some time left afterwards, we can open up the Net for a little Q&A.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI am looking forward to our test runs because I have no idea whether my radio will work, etc.? ?
