TNFrank Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Well, I had to dig out my Talkpod A36 Plus cable, the FTDI cables don't work with this radio, but I did get it connected to the CPS and programmed a few analogue channels into it. It hit the 3 repeaters on the White Tanks(about 16 miles as the crow flies)and I made a contact on the Del Web repeater, all be it my TX was weak. This I'd only a 5 watt radio and we have a pretty bad storm moving through so that might be part of it. My 10 watt AR-5RM gets out very clear so the extra power does seem to make a difference. Next step is to add some digital channels to zone 2. I'll need to look them up to see which ones I'm going to want. I've watched some videos that mention adding a Disconnect channel(4000 iirc)and a Parrot (9000?)then the other channels like a World Wide and some local channels. I'll get it figured out. If adding the digital channels is about the same as the analogue ones then it shouldn't be too much trouble. Anyway, just wanted to share. Quote
