Re: New Ham Question
Just checked the 146.940 and 444.425 to confirm both are working. They’re are probably your best bet with an HT from where you’re at. I’ll try to monitor this afternoon but probably won’t be in the area. I’m sure others will be monitoring if you get it figured out and throw your callsign out.?

开云体育I have an Explorer QRZ-1 HT from the JumpStart program for newly licensed hams. ?Squelch was preset to 5, I’ve lowered to 2 at your suggestion. ?When I press the MONI button to suppress the squelch I do hear the static but nothing when I press PTT. ?The same for all the repeaters I’ve programmed.

Re: New Ham Question
What all repeaters do you have programmed? If you hold the PTT button for just a second and release it, do you hear the repeater? It should stay open for another half a second or so then Nunley. If you’re not hearing that, make sure your offset is correct and CTCSS tone is correct.? ? |
New Ham Question
Good morning, all! I am a new ham with a new HT. I have not yet made a contact but not for lack of trying. I have 5 of our local repeaters programmed into my HT but thus far have heard nothing but what I believe is CW. Is anyone available to review these settings and tell me if I’ve made an error? Thank you so much! I look forward to interacting with all of you!
