    I believe my old Kenwood HT programming behaves the same way.

    I still say the properly located simplex repeater is superior. Wattage does not guarantee comms across blind ridges.

    Providing one of the 2 radios is at the central "sees all" location.

    My search turns up only a small handful of prosecutions, mostly hunters that didn't know about RDF and the fact that the Coast Guard has authority on all navigable waters, even far inland, so there isn't much inhabited land where they aren't within VHF range. It appears that in general, outside of prosecution for false distress calls their verbal threats on air are sufficient enforcement. Probably fear of uniformed guys with guns. FCC doesn't have that advantage.

    Coast Guard considers 16 and 22a part of their infrastructure.

    Or Marine Band channel 16 inland. All Coast Guard stations are set up with direction finding for emergencies which are also used to locate illegal inland use.

    In the fringes, antenna polarization is critical. The HT antenna must be in the same plane as the receiving antenna. Do not hold the HT sideways. Hold it straight up so the antenna is oriented the same way as the repeater's antenna.

    No, the owner is very nice. You may use it. I have no trouble reaching it from the Annapolis area.
  32. AdmiralCochrane
    Radiation pattern is counterintuitive until you realize that the electrical and magnetic features of this type of antenna are reversed.

    I was pretty certain you left that part out.

    King of marketing!

    Same here. I put in about 100 repeater and simplex channels. A little tedious, but 100% success, but it wasn't my first go around programming a radio. I've been using mine in my Jeep for about a year and a half, but I've owned the radio longer and even have a junker that only one side works on.

    I am aware of all the problems Marc points out, but so far I have had no failures of fold overs. I was aware of all those potential problems when I selected them and have been prepared to replace them and the coax if/when needed. Very lucky so far.
