Baofeng AR-5RM/UV-5RM Questions
OscarWillow76 replied to OscarWillow76's question in Technical Discussion
Ok, so rx tone is to BLOCK out folks who dont know the correct tone. It doesn't prevent them from transmitting. It blocks ME from hearing. Got it. -

I own the AR-5RM and have lots of questions. #1. How come when I run the tone scan function in the menu, it never stops on the correct tone? #2. How come I have programmed the radio using CHIRP, but often I have to change the rx tone to "off" to actually hear people on a frequency? Shouldn't I have to keep the programmed tone to hear people?
-
Yep, not too far.

I am listening to a repeater on 449.3000. Heard someone talking from Florida. Heard the term "reflector" used. Is there a system that allows repeaters to bounce off other repeaters, so that the whole nation can chat on the same frequency?
-
Mamaroneck, Westchester here!!!! What frequencies do you use so far?
-
Ok, yeah, I see that a PVC pipe will mess with the antenna, so if I really want this I'll just buy the Ed Fong version.

Part of the reason why I am doing this is because I don't think the neighbors would want anything like an antenna on the side of the house, but a random small white PVC pipe that matches the paint probably would not draw any attention. On the back of the house even better!

Im thinking of making my Ed Fong J-Pole roll up dual-band antenna permanent outdoors, by putting it outside sealed in a narrow PVC pipe clamped to the house. Is this a good idea? Is there a better similar idea I should consider? Different roll up antenna? Gracias amigos.

What are the good ham frequencies to listen to in the NYC area?

My objective is to be able to hear as many signals as I possibly can. I assume a more powerful antenna will help accomplish that. Now can anyone explain the difference between the AR-5RM and the UV-5RM+?

Forgive my stupidity, but i need to be looking at UHF/VHF antennas rated for HAM radios at 108 to 509 mHz, yes?
-
Which outdoor antennas is this compatible with? I feel like getting a nice big antenna and have it sit outside the house. Pick up ISS, aliens, Klingons etc.

What "step" level do people recommend for scanning, etc?
