Mike, KJ6VCP (president) replied to the topic Middleton Tract simplex testing results in the forum
General 3 weeks, 6 days agoThey were new-ish. One was new, one was about a year old.
I like the Tera 505’s because they’re foolproof – power/volume knob and a channel knob, so it’s hard to get anything wrong. Li-Ion batteries, and a charger you can leave them sitting on. With an external antenna, you can also use MURS.
I met Deanna at Rick’s house, so not sure which…[Read more]

Mike, KJ6VCP (president) replied to the topic New date – Oct. 4th Simplex Test in the forum
General 1 month, 2 weeks agooops – forgot to mention – you can get feedback if the monitor radio is loud enough when you are transmitting, so turn it down when it’s your turn.

Mike, KJ6VCP (president) replied to the topic New date – Oct. 4th Simplex Test in the forum
General 1 month, 2 weeks agoSince we’re using the repeater output frequency for simplex, you will also hear the repeater when you’re on the simplex frequency. That’s how you will know we’re starting the next turn.
And, yes, you can use a another radio to monitor.

General 2 months agoWhen I mentioned using an NMO adapter for an outside antenna to stay out of the rain, I really meant that for anyone that already has an NMO mount. David and Mary pointed out a couple of better options if you _dont_ hanve an NMO mount.
The MFJ-310, HT Window Mount Clip lets you stick an HT antenna on a car window – there are BNC and SMA…[Read more]
