Yesterday it was 110° here so we put our rigs in 4LO took our friends up to elevation just under 9000’ to get to better temps. Up at Leviathan Peak Lookout at the top of Monitor Pass it was a “pleasant” 84°!
My friend has two Motorola Talkabout MJ270R two way radios that we always use but this trip I have my new Baofeng UV-5G Plus so I wanted to use it instead.
I asked him what channel he was on and he said, “Channel 2”. I set it to channel 2, transmitted but he didn’t hear me. He transmitted from his radio and I picked it up. I looked last night on my radio to see if the frequencies were the same with the online manual I found for his radio and they are both the same frequencies for channel 2 (462.5875).
Does anyone have an idea why there was an issue hearing me?
I Googled to see if my radio works with his and it said it does. I didn’t know how to scan from my radio and signal was spotty where we were to look it up. I will put the user manual in the glove box for next trip!
