I am trying to program my radio to my local repeater. I am new to HAM and still learning. My local repeater was found on repeater maps and it has Two frequencies. It is for Hornell NY. The numbers are 53.370- call sign K2TJW and underneath it says 146.865-. How do I figure out what the offset is?

Only if you have a GMRS repeater in your area and your radio supports CTCS (for the tone). Main issue is, most off the shelf GMRS radios don't list the CTCS codes as frequencies. They list as 1, 2, 3. Not 67.0, 69.3, 71.9. etc. In short, yes if you can set it up to a local repeater.

Jumping those two pins with a wire accomplishes the job of turning on the power supply and I've left it ON in that "hacked" setup for years without issue, however the proper way to turn it on is to connect a 21k-ohm resistor between pin 36 & 37, then connecting pin 34 to the ground will turn it off and on.

Yes, radio signals in the shortwave band 2-30MHz can bounce off the ionosphere and make it around the world with very little power! Shortwave is where the magic happens.

@greaterbridgeportamateurra84292 жыл бұрын
It all depends of the topography from where you are to the repeater. If you have a nice line of sight to it from a high vantage point it could be 20+ miles. If you are down in a valley with a mountain in between it could be 1 mile. In this video i was at high location with the exception of some trees and foliage blocking a direct view, i almost had a direct line to the repeater so it worked well. 2 meter will travel farther with more obstructions but requires a bigger antenna. 70cm will radiate efficiently off a small antenna but line of sight is more critical.
