Wheeling trip The Cove in Gore VA June 4-6 , 2020 (2 Viewers)

Who else is bringing pew pew things for some range time? I've got a new AR to break in.

I assume we will be on Club Freqs. The last time I tried programming them on my own, I could hear but could not participate in the conversation. As I will be arriving independently and at odd hours, would anyone want to walk me through programming the right info into my HAM so I can reach out when I get there?

Does this help? Channels 2, 4 & 6 are repeater channels. They will not work without a repeater on the air. We will have a repeater on the air at the Cove for Fall Crawl.

Are you using the high quality Baofengs? I had a similar issue at first until I realized I hadn't put in the DTCS which was my problem for not being able to speak.

I was thinking of bringing a knock off CZ that was gifted to me to test out.. just gotta get some 45 ammo.

I'm bringing at least the AR, maybe the 1911 and Glock 42. So I'll probably have 45, 380, and 556.

Hold on a minute- you mean we can wheel and hit the range? Oh man this sounds fun.

There's an additional range fee, but since all local ranges have been shut down for 2+ months, I'm going to hit the range.

I‘ll be there. Just did a porch build and have a ton of 4X6 untreated pine cut offs from the rafters to burn. Probably coming Thursday after work.

 

[DominicanFZJ80]

Going to miss this one

 

[Von Hayek]

I will likely be there Thursday afternoon.

 

[Crusha]

[apinti]

No... a Kenwood... but it is likely something very similar. I thought I had programmed it properly but clearly... I am just stupid.

We like the term “mentally challenged “ and sometimes we shorten it to just “Mitch”

Haha, that's from somebody who managed to pull a 26 on the ham radio test

 

[TRFCSUX]

26 = Pass !!
Besides 26 puts me in a select group with my friends

The club frequencies are GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) freqs not Ham freqs. If the Kenwood is an off the shelf ham radio it will not transmit on the GMRS freqs because they are outside of the ham bands. There is a mod to fix that. Google Kenwood model# mods.
