2 meter base

OK it is here and I have spent the last three days programing this radio. So far I would say a very nice radio easy to program and has a good front speaker. Now I guess I have to find more people to talk to on the michigan repeaters.

It seems that I can get on repeater 147.06 (94.8 ) I can hear the hiss from the repeater.
And 145.330 (94.8 ) Link repeater.
I am using a J-Pole that I made and it is up on the eve about 25 feet up

Will any of those work. I can be on tomorrow from 9am to 2pm and the rest of the week from 9am to 11pm.

Thanks

:D iv'e been using my ft-847 for my base for an allmode 2mtr. and 70cm. and as a general coverage reciever for hf. after i upgrade i will probably be looking for a new hf rig or the kenwood ts 2000 with 1.2 ghz. :D :D
 
Dang KENWOOD570....

I was told i was nuts when i had my 706 MKIIG maybe a year before i got my ticket..

that is for sure a decent rig (although i perfer other units)
for the money you payed for that (new or used)

i hope you get your ticket so you can truely use that rig to its fullest... :colshd :peace

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
