I realize the different way we feel about distance ...............as
I said? " I am in Texas ".? The point I was making is to make the
effort .?? This last weekend I burned a few hundred dollars of gas
& drove several hours to spend the weekend with a group of old
friends and make new ones at a Hamfest . ?? Do it several times each
year .....................North , South , East ...........They are a
little more scattered to the West here in Texas? ! ? ? ? ?? Chuck ?

20 miles in England
might be as much as an hour or more auto trip (one way)
and eat up $5 worth of petrol each way!? Folks
in?countries other than the USA, Canada,?and Australia
look at distances in a far different manner that we do!

I agree with find a club . Clubs all over the land are
faltering with no or low attendance . Within each club
is a mass of info & knowledge that is dying on the
vine as there is no one to gather the harvest.? I
realize I am in Texas , but I consider my twenty mile
drive to my club meetings local. We have several driving
45 miles one way . Many years ago I lost my Elmer just
as I was starting out . It is a double loss . My
suggestion is find a replacement ......you may only need
to drive the 20 mile a time or two til you make a local
connection. ? ?? Chuck ? Wq5B

Ah well some
of us are rugged individualists. Plus in my case
my Elmer passed away and I am on my own. I do
try to pay it forward though. ;-)

HI
Alex
what a very well
thought out
description.
my question is why
does this guy not
join a local radio
club as many guys
here within a radio
club would have set
his new radio up for
him and explained
this to him first
hand or he could
still have read if
off a RSGB tech
site.

Understand
first that I
have the US
model, and the
UK one is
different.
Plus, I think
that offsets
are different
in the
countries.
That said,
there is a
page in the US
manual which
covers "odd
splits", which
this looks
like. Maybe. I
found
Scunthorpe,
which looks to
have an output
of 433.125 and
receives on
434.725 with a
CTCSS tone of
88.5hz. This
means you
should program
the 7K with
434.725 for
the repeater
wiith a normal
(UK?) offset
and a tone of
88.5. Is 1.6 K
the normal
split in the
UK? If so, a
UK 7K should
automagically
tune the
split, and you
will only need
to set the
tone. Here in
the US, the
normal split
on 70CM is 5
Mhz!
Otherwise, you
will need to
find the page
in the manual
that deals
with repeater
splits.
Remember that
you program
your 7K with
the repeater output,
and when you
transmit, it
should show
transmitting
on the
repeater's input
frequency. The
transmit tone
does not show.
For instance,
a repeater
here in my
area, the Mt.
Mitchell, is
at 442.225. I
program that
in my 7K, and
it
automatically
sets the
split, which
here is 5 meg,
so I am
transmitting
on 447.225
when I key,
which the
display
reflects. On
the display,
it says "dup+".
Yours should
say "dup-".
Keep
trying, and
with all due
respect, RTFM
is absolutely
required for
the 7K. See:
Hi I am
new to the
group and to
my new ic-7000
what I need to
know I want to
programme
433.1250 which
is the
Scunthorpe
repeater in
Lincolnshire
which I have
don the only
problem I have
is the
transmit
frequency
which on my
radio is
438.125.00
this should be
434.7250 can
any one help
me to sort
this out
many thanks
