WSAL750

I can open a repeater that is a in an area 60 miles away. I do not have a direct line of site so I am surprised I can open it. My handheld will not transmit any voice , can it be that I have power to open repeater but not enough to transmit? Three of my handhelds will "Kurchunk" it ,but none with audio. Is this normal? Thanks for any ideas.

I run into a similar static problem in my town, a business uses a frequency close to 462.675 and it causes a continuous transmission for about 1 miles in each direction. Also our manufacturing plant uses 462.6125 for the maintenance channel. If you are on open receive you can hear it. If on a PL tone receive it isn't picked up. Good Luck, lets us know what you find.

Did the screen show "H" for high power, I'm having a problem also. I programmed repeaters of CHIRP, I can't communicate with any. I have my UV5G right beside the H3 and it will reach the repeater. Both on factory antennas. Any suggestions ?

There are very few people in my area on the radio, the ones I have talked to are people I don't know. I just figured it would be good to know if I have talked to them before .

I have watched numerous videos on the stock and replacement antennas. Some short ones seem better and then the 771 series show off. Anyone using Smiley 5/8 wave or Signal Stick 440 ? I will be using it on both simplex and local repeater, hilly and with trees in area. Thanks for any input or suggestions.

I'm setting up a simple logbook on Excel, and will just fill it out as I go, I guess a composition notebook will do same. I'm just getting started in the hobby, so I have a long way to go. Enjoy .

I found their mailing address and information , but no email. I was just wondering if their was a way to message them on this site. Thanks.

I need to contact an owner of a repeater and all I know is their Call Sign . Is there a way to do that on here?
