I just got this TD H8 and it has the stock rubber duck on it for another day, but the little cheap Baofeng GM-15 and Radio Oddity GM-30 seem to have as good if not better reception with 771s. I was messing around with a Negoya UT-72G on a pizza pan this weekend, and that seemed to be great. I've only just started, so I think a base antenna with a mobile unit might be in order now that there are people to talk to!

MesaWest is a bit of a stretch from Pasadena with an HT, but Charlie is super close. I plan on changing that with a decent antenna.

I did not try and transmit after writing it back to the TD H8. I had enough trouble with Odmaster and using Chirp for the first time. I just wanted it to work. It was also pretty quiet yesterday, and I don't like to radio check 10 times an hour. Frequency offset seems like a pretty basic setting. Odmaster has potential, but I mean. Geez. (I'm 803 in Pasadena.)
-
Is there some secret to get the repeater offsets to work correctly in Odmaster? I even tried loading them from Chirp and reading it to Odmaster, but it put the TX frequency the same as the RX.

Under "General Settings" using the Radioddity software there is "Voice Alert" box. That turns off the voice. I have the Radioddity GM-30 and the Baofeng GM-15. They are the same radio with some minor cosmetic and waterproofing differences, and a different antenna adapter. They have worked pretty well for $25 radios. I had no problems using the Radioddity software for both.

I have ELAC programed in, but I don't think I have picked up a signal. I will definitely try El Paso Peak. I think I am getting reception from the Mesa Crest repeater. I don't mind paying to have access. appreciate your input!

Sorry for not replying. I'm in Pasadena, and there are two powerful repeaters in the area owned by the same person. I have made requests, and I will just have to wait it out. I did receive a nice email from WRXP381. Otherwise, the radios I purchased work well for communicating simplex with my hiking partner in the mountains.

If I could get access to the two repeaters in my area of LA, I'd be a happy man.
