  1. I was out with my ht when I went to call a local repeater the radio normaly reaches i could not reach. When I got home I checked the radio on a meter and I had zero output power. I turned back off and called btwr to get a rma number very good people, so I turned it back on just too double check and now it's working fine, I am returning it but what could cause the issue? TIA Bill
  2. OK thanks figured that was it thanks Bill
  3. I'm using a wouxun 805g and trying too access a repeater and it needs a DPL code of 445. I don't see that listed in the menu options I have DCS and CTCS. Help please and yes I'm new at this Thanks Bill
