Hello,
I've had my license for a few years without doing much, but I finally have the time and effort to try and dive into this.
I put an MXT275 in my truck for now that I'm scanning on. Testing on Papagayo 3 results in the end of transmission static that the interwebs tell me means its working, and I can hear myself on the handhelds I Chirp programed, but negative contact with another person. I'll be getting a better antenna soon, which hopefully will help.
If someone's willing to holler back, I'll provide coffee or beverage of choice!
