  1. What kind of coax are you using on the house antenna and how long is it?
  2. are the radios at least 50 feet apart when testing?
  3. Globdammut!
  4. You are overlooking the fact that you can never get a good/accurate SWR reading on an HT antenna, so don't bother - just make sure you have an antenna that is designed for use on whatever frequency range you use, and just enjoy your radio.
  5. Which is not even remotely close to what he asked if it could do.
  6. Because I have ....ELEVATION....
  7. You spelled BooPHWHang wrong, but other than that, great job!
  8. Beer is a helluva drug.
  9. Yes: My suggestion is to write a coherent question, or at least gives us more hints on what the issue is.
  10. Generally speaking, on average, usually, most of the time, when someone can't hit a repeater, it's YOUR problem, not the repeater's problem. and if it IS the repeater's problem, my guess/prediction is that the owner/operator is already well aware. I am also going to predict that posting your request here is not going to get you any response from the owner/operator. But, that's just a guess.
  11. If the firmware is different you wont be able (may not be able) to do it. No way around this that I know of.
  12. Setting the hang-time to zero has no impact whatsoever, in any way, on someone trying "hack" either the input or output tone of a repeater.. Just sayin..
  13. For the antenna, I use a Tram 1486... It was not very expensive, it does not look like a space-station antenna on the roof so it got quick spousal-approval, it has a very low wind-profile, and it was very easy to cut/tune. For the radio I use an XTL-5000 but i would not recommend it for a beginner.
  14. I forgot all about this thread and wasn't even really paying attention from the beginning.. I just hop in, stir the pot and let everyone else figure it out. Carry on guys, you're doing great!
  15. Please update us and let us know what he finds.
  16. Never had this occur on either Jeep, but even though we've driven through some heavy rainstorms its mostly hot and dry here.
  17. "N" means "Normal", "i" means Inverted.. DPL/DTC tones are, by default "normal". So unless it pacifically says "inverted" or "i", then you would always use the "N". EDIT: Glob-dang SteveShannon beat me again by 10 seconds.
  18. Undocumented H.A.M. radio operator for over 40 years here, so nobody can question or dispute anything I say. FCC LAW 95.1705 c(2) says: Failure to follow this law or violating it in any way will result in jail-time or a $10,000 fine, so don't risk it. Instead just make her get a H.A.M. ticket and be done with it.
  19. What? I don't understand? why so angry? How is finding men to chat with on Grindr any different from finding men to chat with on GMRS or H.A.M. radio? Please explain because I must be confused or something.
  20. Yes, it will degrade performance, but the degradation will be so negligible you will never notice any difference - ASSUMING that you do it right (don't short it out or anything) and assuming you use a quality connector - ie; get the $9 one from a name you've heard of and not the $0.99 one from a name you can't pronounce.
  21. Maybe you should take it back to the guy you got it from and tell him you want one that works?
  22. ok, something is seriously wrong.. That's the best I can do so, I'm out.
  23. attach a pic of the front panel showing the display and all the buttons/lights.
