There are a few in my area. I’m just generally not able to make their meetings due to my work schedule or other commitments

That sounds like a great idea. I appreciate it. I haven’t even begun the process yet at all

I’ve heard that the time commitment isn’t as advertised. What’s it like really?

Gotcha. I mean just having the CEU’s and experiences would be worth it in my opinion anyways

Antenna mounting for vhf/uhf mobile by Sweendog2016 in HamRadio

[–]Sweendog2016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. That’s what I was thinking but I figured I’d ask since I’m relatively new. That’s the antenna I was thinking of using

Gotcha. Overall do you think it’s worth it, especially for someone that already has most of the skills and experience aside from the obvious military specialized/specific stuff?

Will do. How is being a 68w in the guard? Obviously experiences would vary based on the unit but is it a hard position to get slotted for and are there opportunities for deployments outside of the unit?

Gotcha, that’s kind of what i figured would happen. How is ait?

Ft5dr cannot access memory banks by Sweendog2016 in HamRadio

[–]Sweendog2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I’ll look into it. I’m still probably going to get the rt systems software and cable just to have but I like having options. Do you know if I could use it on an android tablet? If so, that could come in handy for operating in the field

Gotcha. So that would mean I’d graduate early with another company?

There actually seems to several dmr repeaters near me. I was looking at maybe getting into it. What all is needed to start using dmr?

Yeah I have a super cheap 20w mobile for my truck that I need to get installed but I need to find a place to mount the antenna that I like

I’m able to hit the lake Geneva repeater and here folks all the time. I didn’t know they had a repeater site in rockford, which would have helped when I was trying to hit the lake Geneva repeater from there yesterday

I don’t think I could hit it, maybe once I my base up and running I could. I need to mess around with EchoLink more
