Official Colorado HAM and cheese thread

Mine goes to 11.

 

Lol

 

Just the Baofeng like others, found cable during move, may have lost it again but have forgotten anything related to programming it from first time

 

Cross-posted in the other HAM thread, but http://electronics.woot.com has a 2-pack of brand-new BaoFeng UV-82 radios for $45 if you're looking to grow or start your collection.

 

Anyone want to get on Thursday Night 30 minutes prior to the OAUSA net on the N0PQV Repeater at 145.340, 103.5, (-) We can do a radio check and everyone can exchange call signs prior to without "ADVERTISING IT ON THE FORUM FOR YOUR TRUCK TO GET BROKEN INTO>STOLEN"

The topic preview : http://forums.oausa.net/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=4151 See you at 8PM Thursday

 

Looks like I dont have that repeater in the "list"
Maybe I don't have any RMRL repeaters?
Do I need to add them?

 

is there room in the "list"?

 

As far as I know the only limit to the length of the list is the number of memory channels in your particular radio. Obviously we want to keep the list relevant to Colorado members but certainly RMRL meets that criteria.

 

What he said

 

why did you ask or hesitate or not put them on from the beginning?

 

I also suggest more FRS frequencies

 

Hell, I made your damn list for you.... Why didn't YOU put them in from the beginning?

I've never used those repeaters. Guess I didn't know about them.

 

I've got to get a unit for home and the truck.

 

Time to go steal Mr. K0WDE's truck.

 

I was about to yell at you that I put ALL the damn FRS frequencies on the list but apparently there was a 2017 part 95 reform I didn't know about.

In light of this new information, I hereby nominate you to be the keeper of the frequencies. I'll update the list but it's your responsibility to monitor and inform me of new channels to add.

 

fair enough

I have been known to use APRS to track myself to and from home..... PS I will see you on the nest camera "no one escapes the nestcam" (google 2017)

 

If you’re worried about people tracking you via APRS you could always turn on position ambiguity. Many radios have a couple levels too depending on how much you want to obscure your position.

 

Mr KE0MQO is closer, I'll swipe his truck for now.

I've kinda found that I'm in the foothills shadow for a lot of the repeaters. So beyond having a half hour earlier sunset than Denver I get less radio traffic. I need the get the radio in the 4runner going.

 

I need to order the aprs kenwood and pull this 2m inside and put an antenna up.....

 

Does this have a dark side of the moon option/ setting?
