WRUT935

I got the chance to take the antenna down now the rain stopped. yes there is some water at the bottom of the PL connector. Getting a new cable and sealing it with sealing tape before putting it back. Live and learn.

I rechecked the SWR from my hand held that is connected to my Ed Fong antenna on the roof. Same channel, same meter, the SWR went up from 1.1 to 2. Is it just because the pvc pipe has water droplets on it? I’ll wait to retest when it stops raining here again. 73 and happy holidays?

I got mine from BSR this week: 1. Roger Beep cannot be activated even though it shows up on the menu and on the software. BTW, some of the repeater admins ask that it be turned off when using their repeaters. Was told that it is annoying especially those on ear phone. 2. you have to be careful when putting the unit in the charger, it can go in with the contacts not fully seated. The radio has to catch the side guide slots. When inserting the radio and it is on, I find it sometimes pressing the RPT button which outs the radio in TKA. I have not fully experimented on TKA if it removes proper connectivity to repeaters. 3. I press the up or down button or turn the know to change scan direction. That is how I change directions.
