(Not best antenna for 10m). FYI every time I key up my mouse and keyboard would shut off lol. Repeater output 29.620, input 29.520, no pl tone required. Have Fun!

  • @Bward216
    @Bward216 3 месяца назад

    so your radio is set to the listed frequency. But when you key it, it uses the offset and transmits on the new frequency. If you have your partner radio set the same way, you won't hear each other, right? If you are 146.445 and it jumps to 147.445 but your partner is on 146.445 how exactly do you communicate? Do you have to jump back and forth frequencies to receive and transmit?

    • @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429
      @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429 Месяц назад

      Your radio handles that for you automatically when you program the offset. You listen on 146.445 but you transmit on 147.445, the repeater does the opposite.

    I am trying to program my radio to my local repeater. I am new to HAM and still learning. My local repeater was found on repeater maps and it has Two frequencies. It is for Hornell NY. The numbers are 53.370- call sign K2TJW and underneath it says 146.865-. How do I figure out what the offset is?

    • @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429
      @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429 Месяц назад

      If it just says - with no number next to it, you can assume it is the standard offset of .6MHz. So it would be 146.265

    • @lunereclips3649
      @lunereclips3649 9 месяцев назад

      Only if you have a GMRS repeater in your area and your radio supports CTCS (for the tone). Main issue is, most off the shelf GMRS radios don't list the CTCS codes as frequencies. They list as 1, 2, 3. Not 67.0, 69.3, 71.9. etc. In short, yes if you can set it up to a local repeater.

    Jumping those two pins with a wire accomplishes the job of turning on the power supply and I've left it ON in that "hacked" setup for years without issue, however the proper way to turn it on is to connect a 21k-ohm resistor between pin 36 & 37, then connecting pin 34 to the ground will turn it off and on.

    • @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429
      @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429 2 года назад

      Yes, radio signals in the shortwave band 2-30MHz can bounce off the ionosphere and make it around the world with very little power! Shortwave is where the magic happens.

    From how far away will I be able to use a 2 meter and a 70cm repeater? I’m about to order an Icom id-52, if that matters. It will be my first ham radio. I’m scheduled to take the test soon …

    • @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429
      @greaterbridgeportamateurra8429 2 года назад

      It all depends of the topography from where you are to the repeater. If you have a nice line of sight to it from a high vantage point it could be 20+ miles. If you are down in a valley with a mountain in between it could be 1 mile. In this video i was at high location with the exception of some trees and foliage blocking a direct view, i almost had a direct line to the repeater so it worked well. 2 meter will travel farther with more obstructions but requires a bigger antenna. 70cm will radiate efficiently off a small antenna but line of sight is more critical.
