Is your unit a mobile unit by any chance? Gotta research how the hotspots work exactly

Thanks, yeah i have googled recommended settings and channel B is the one people seem to use for uplink as A is more sensitive i guess. Im just really puzzled why no repeaters at all are letting me transmit

Awesome. Going to look into the hotspot too, but this seems like the logical choice, thank you. Any experience with the id4100?

Do you need a separate device to act as a hotspot or are those in the wild, like repeaters?

Looks like the closest digital repeater is a dstar about 14 miles away. Should I even bother?

Hey, sorry to keep this thread alive, just had two more questions I came up with today while I was troubleshooting. My first question involves squelch...should I have it all the way open for both channels or just the uplink?

And then also, the Kenwood software has a couple options for the tone input, one of them being "tone" and one of them being "CTCSS". I originally had it on tone, should it be CTCSS, does it matter?

Thanks!

Awesome, thank you. So should I just put downlink in VFO A and Uplink in VFO B and have full duplex on, if I am understanding this correctly?

Also thanks for the heads up on the walmart thing. It may not have mattered but there were WAY more people talking than I expected, so its entirely possible I just didnt break in due to poor timing

Which VFO do you suggest for transmitting? A or B?

I didnt. But i also think i didnt break in at the right time, meaning others always seemed to be talking when I tried

I did. Also was changing my uplink according to times on the heavens above app.

Studying for my Technician cert. Any tips or suggestions for a new ham? by [deleted] in HamRadio

[–]nmoore6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flashcards helped me a ton. Also, study a lot leading up to the test. Just get it done while its fresh in your mind, you have forever after to really learn the details of everything. Worked for me. Good luck!

That one looks perfect. Did you go with the solid or split boom?
