Re: not very exciting start
|
I figured out my mistake. Although I set up to generate a tone and did set the tone¡¯s frequency correctly, I did not save those settings correctly. That is all straightened out now (I think). But still no responses. However, I now do see the frequency shift the correct amount when I key in and I think I hear the tone back from the repeater. Just need someone to talk to. ? 73, ?

Subject: Re: [FT-60] not very exciting start? ? I don¡¯t believe doing CQ on 2 meters is normal practice. ?Try to ID with your call sign and see if anyone responds. ? ? ? I think I have the frequencies and offsets plus PL set up right for the repeaters that are nearby but heard no traffic. I said a few CQs followed by my call sign in each channel but got nothing. I know I am transmitting because my voice came in on my scanner. That doesn¡¯t mean that I unlocked the repeaters correctly or that my offsets are right. I¡¯ll try again in the morning. ? Any suggestions? ? 73, ? Rick KG7MQL ?
