Don, the repeater will either come back with its call sent in CW or it will come back with a strong non-audible signal that will peg your S-meter.? Based on what you have described it sounds like a radio setting, especially if you are able to hit other repeaters (I believe you mentioned that you could).? At 45' you shouldn't have any trouble.? Brian D, do you have any other advice?

I’m using an ICOM 9700 and a dual band collinear base station antenna on the roof about 45 feet in the air.

I also tried again tonight to check in to the net but could not be heard. I have a new rig and can't seem to hit the Canadice repeater even though I can hit the Bristol repeater loud and clear. I could hear everyone just fine and off the scale. I double checked the duplex (-) and tone (110.9) but just not hitting that repeater! I even cranked it up to 100 watts and boosted the mic gain, but the repeater is just not getting my signal and letting me in no matter what I do. Maybe there is a special magic handshake that I'm not doing?? Oh well....See you all on Zoom.

Don,
On FM, if you activate the repeater
when you press the Push-to-talk button on your mic, you should
hear the repeater transmit for about 3/4 of a second after you let
go of the PTT button.? It is just a squelch-tail. ?? There is no
audible tone on our repeater.
With that antenna at 45 feet, the
repeater should have no problem hearing you.? And since you say
you hear it just fine, I'd say your antenna is fine.? I would
guess your Tone Squelch/PL tone is not setup correctly.? I know
you said you double-checked, but I know it can be tricky getting
the right settings saved to a memory channel.? So I would look
closely at that.? Yes, you need a 110.9 Hz sub-audible tone on
your transmit signal on 144.69Mhz.
As Harry said, any one of us can
certainly lend a hand if you continue to have issues getting in.

FYI from Roch VHF Group
-------- Forwarded Message --------
The VHF Group is sponsoring another Saturday Session and would
like to invite you and your club members to attend!
Would you mind forwarding this information to your club membership
or email group?
Yours in the hobby,
Ev Tupis, W2EV
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When: THIS Saturday, May 9, 2020 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and
Canada)
Session Topic: Making Miles w/Meteors
There is no need to "catch a falling star", when all you need is
its' (ionized) tail!
Long time meteor maven, Dana Shtun (VE3DS) will take attendees on
a fascinating and enlightening journey through the history and
development of meteor-trail based VHF communication, concluding
with a demonstration of modern systems and techniques that allow
even modest stations to communicate over long distances on VHF
frequencies.
All are invited, but only 100 can attend.? Don't miss this
opportunity.? Register right away and attend on Saturday.

Hi all,
We had a successful Board Meeting using Zoom earlier tonight, and we decided to go ahead and schedule our May general meeting as a virtual meeting.? The meeting date will be the usual 2nd Thursday (May 14), but instead of our 6PM start time, we will start at
8PM, and it will be online (NOT AT WEBSTER REC).
We will be using Zoom, and the meeting invitation is below.? I am fairly certain you can get to the meeting using the link below, but you may have better results by downloading the app if you are using a smart phone.? You can also get an app for the PC, which
it may prompt you to optionally download.
You should be able to get audio via phone or PC.? A good USB headset with a mike is a plus on a PC.
One topic will be plans for Field Day.? As of this moment, it is still on as far as I know.? We will likely need to develop some additional plans/procedures this year.
We hope to have a few virtual shack tours during the meeting.? I'm sure there will be a few bugs, but if we hope things will go fairly smooth.
Details how to access the meeting are below:

Invitation: Spring Session On-line
FYI - from Roch VHF Group
..............................................................................................
The hamfests may have been cancelled, but the Rochester VHF Group () is pleased to announce a topic-based "Spring Session" for Saturday, April 25 at 10:00 AM to be held on-line.? VHF-bound Technician?? New-to-VHF-fun General, Advanced or Extra?
Please join us!? It's only a week away!? MARK YOUR CALENDARS TODAY!
EVERYONE is invited, but only the first 100 will get to enjoy them.? Yes, "them", plural.? TWO (related) topics!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10:00 - DEMONSTRATION (thanks, Dave Carlson, N2OA):
"A Tour and Demonstration of the Icom IC-9700"
This is a multi-mode VHF/UHF Transceiver with 2 meters, 70 cm, and 23 cm in one radio!? Satellites?? Yes.? Terrestrial DX and contesting?? Yes.? Repeaters? Yes.? An easy way to get on some of the more populated "action VHF bands"? Yes!
Unlike YouTube videos, this is a LIVE session with the ability to Q&A!
..............................................................................................
WORKSHOP (thanks, Bill Rogers, K2TER):
"Stacking the Icom IC-9700 with 222 MHz and 902 MHz"
Bill will walk us through a more technical presentation showing a very creative transverter approach to make this exciting transceiver even more interesting by adding two more bands to it.
And yes...this session will be open for Q&A, too!

K2H Special Event Station Honoring the Heroes Fighting Covid-19
The K2H special event is still looking for stations to represent Monroe, Orleans and Wayne counties. If anyone is interested in representing those or other counties they can send an email to k2hheroes@...
? ?
Thanks
Dave N2OA
We are trying to involve as many NY Hams as we can. We have the call K2H from May 1st until May 31st.
?
I am sending a one pager, that became 2! Plus the Certificate of Appreciation that can be downloaded and a sample of the K2H/SUF certificate.
?
The link to NYQSO has been added to the K2H QRZ Page to list counties.
?
Here is the Newsline story that released this morning. We are the third story, 3 minutes in.
?
We want to involve as many hams in NY State that want to operate, so anything you can do to spread the word will be appreciated.
?
To register to operate just email name, call and county to
k2hheroes@...
?
Thanks for your help

For anyone interested, Mike Walker from Flex Radio is doing a presentation on their radios tonight.
As a follow up to my email last week, here are the details for my FlexRadio presentation.? For current Flex customers, some of this isn't really new stuff, but it might fill in some?gaps.
You will need to install the RingCentral meeting client and it is pretty painless.??

No Meeting at Webster Rec This Month
Not a surprise I'm sure, but to make it official, there will be no meeting at Webster Rec this Thursday April 9.? Webster Rec is actually closed, and they have cancelled all reservations of meeting rooms for the first half of the month.
I am tempted to try a web meeting, but I think we would need more time to prepare.? So we will have our usual Thursday night net on the repeater instead.? Hope to hear you there.
